KYT Membership
For patients without PPO insurance coverage. One flat annual fee covers your preventive visits and reduces the cost of any treatment you need.
No deductibles. No waiting periods. No annual maximums.
Two questions narrow your options before you read any further.
1. Do you currently have dental insurance (PPO or HMO)?
Yes
Use your PPO coverage. Membership is not designed to layer with insurance and cannot be combined with active dental benefits.
No — continue below
You are in the right place. Membership is built for patients without active dental insurance coverage.
2. Have you been diagnosed with gum disease, or do you require periodontal maintenance visits?
Yes
The Advanced Plan includes 3 periodontal maintenance visits and full periodontal charting per year.
Advanced Plan — $749/year
No
The Essential Plan covers 2 routine cleanings and exams. The right starting point for most healthy adults.
Essential Plan — $499/year

If you have PPO insurance through an employer or union, use it. Membership cannot be used alongside it.
A large portion of adults in the United States do not have dental insurance. They are self-employed, between jobs, retired, or their employer does not offer a dental plan. Their only options are to pay full price, delay care, or go without.
Delayed preventive care leads to larger problems. Larger problems cost more. Patients who cannot afford full-price care tend to come in only when something hurts — which is the most expensive and least effective time to treat dental disease.
KYT Membership was built to close that gap. If routine cleanings and exams are affordable, patients come in regularly. Regular visits catch problems early. Early problems are smaller, cost less, and preserve more tooth structure.
Preventive care reduces the likelihood of needing major treatment
Early detection preserves more tooth structure and keeps more options open
Predictable annual costs make budgeting for dental care possible
Removing the insurance layer removes claim delays and denial risk
Each step in this chain depends on the one before it.

Keep Your Teeth
Stability, not reactive repair
This is the logic behind the Keep Your Teeth Framework. Membership makes the preventive layer accessible. The framework guides what happens when treatment is needed. Learn about the KYT Framework →
Two plans. The decision pathway above will help you choose.
Essential
For healthy adults who need routine cleanings and checkups without dental insurance.
Advanced
For patients with gum disease or active periodontal needs who require more frequent maintenance visits.

These are the questions we hear most often before enrollment.
No. KYT Membership is an in-office savings plan, not insurance. It does not pay claims, reimburse expenses, or satisfy any insurance coverage requirement. It is a direct agreement between you and KYT Dental Services.

Unused visits do not roll over. We recommend scheduling your cleanings and exams early in the year so they are not left unused.

Any treatment beyond the included visits is available at 10% off (Essential) or 15% off (Advanced) the standard fee. You receive a written estimate before treatment begins and can decide at that point.
