Individual Incentive Dental
offers immediate access to quality, affordable dental care. The
plan is procedure-based, but unlike traditional dental
plans you are rewarded for receiving routine preventive care. Each
year that you visit the dentist for a checkup and cleaning, means
greater benefits and less out-of-pocket expenses the next year.
Individual Dollar-Based Dental
puts you in control of your dental health dollars. The plan is
dollar-based -- a unique departure from traditional
procedure-based coverage. Imagine spending your benefit
dollars almost any way you choose, on care that's important to you
and your family. Each year you decide to include an exam and
cleaning, you are rewarded with a benefit increase the following
year.

Limitations.
This is a discount program. This is not an insurance plan. CAREINGTON
cannot guarantee specialty care in all areas. In cases in which you
are referred to a participating specialist, you will generally
receive 15% to 20% off their usual and customary fees. Please verify
such benefits with each individual provider. Work in progress, after
joining the plan, must be completed by the provider who started the
work. Any procedures performed by a non-participating provider are
not included. CAREINGTON International cannot guarantee the
continued participation of any provider. If he or she leaves the
plan, you will need to select another provider. Not all types of
providers may be available in your area. Some providers may charge
for missed or broken appointments if no prior notice is given. It is
the member’s responsibility to verify that the provider is a
participating provider. This plan does not include all procedures
which might be provided. Any procedure delivered which is not listed
on the Schedule of Services may cause additional cost to be incurred
by the member. The dollar amount specified adjacent to each
procedure may not be the only cost incurred for a given treatment
because the treatment may require more than one procedure. Note to
Utah Residents: This contract is
not protected by the
Utah
Life and Health Guaranty Association. The program and the program
administrators have no liability for providing or guaranteeing
service and have no liability for the quality of service rendered.

The Advantage
Community
Return to Top
The Advantage system was founded in 1994 by a group of
dentists in Roseburg Oregon. They were concerned with the lack of
access to dental care in rural Oregon. The model they created
addressed this concern as well as addressing the need for affordable
and effective dental insurance to groups of all sizes throughout
Oregon. The Advantage Community consists of many independent yet
mutually Inclusive Companies.
- Northwest Dental Services, Inc.
- Advantage Dental Plan, Inc.
- Advantage Smiles for Kids
Northwest Dental Services, Inc. is the company through
which we administer the Oregon Health plan. Through this division we
provide for the dental health and needs of over 70,000 pregnant Mom’s,
children, elderly and uninsured low income Oregon families.
Advantage Dental Plan, Inc, is our for profit dental
insurance company through which we offer a varied of group plans to
employers of all sizes. We also offer dental insurance products to
individuals that do not have access to a group plan through their
employer.
Advantage Smiles for Kids is a not for profit company
we established in 2003 to provide orthodontic care for at risk youth
that were unable to afford such services.
