You may already know that Soothing Dental is making concierge dentistry affordable in San Francisco, but you'll be pleasantly surprised to learn that they offer affordable insurance plans as well.

Like any dental office, Soothing Dental accepts all PPO insurance plans, but this smart approach to dental care also offers an alternative insurance plan for individuals and small companies who either don't have dental insurance already or are looking to complement an existing policy with a secondary plan to lower out-of-pocket expenses. Soothing Dental's plans start at $20 per month, ranging from a low-cost option designed for people who only need the basics—cleanings and occasional simple procedures such as fillings—to plans for folks who require more dental work such as crowns and bridges. Unlike traditional insurance plans, Soothing Dental offers unlimited services for all of its subscribers. There's no waiting period: You can sign up for a plan now and begin using it right away.

Given the entrepreneurial nature of San Francisco and Silicon Valley, there are many small businesses and startups that don't have access to traditional insurance plans. Soothing Dental enables employers to offer dental benefits to their team at whatever rate makes sense for their particular business—companies can choose to contribute to their employees' dental plan or not, while everyone in the group will have the flexibility to choose the plan that works for them at a discounted group rate. (The larger the group, the bigger the discount.) Business plans also include annual on-site screenings and decreased monthly rates for people who don't fully utilize their plans.
