Dental insurance is a $1,500 con.
You pay premiums for years, then pay for your implants out of pocket anyway — because the coverage was never really there. We're building the honest alternative: learn, save, get a real price, and finance the rest fairly.

The Smile Fund
Your smile, on your terms
- Save toward treatment — your money
- A real, transparent price
- $500 certificate included
- Fair financing for the rest
You're paying for something you never actually get.
Dental "insurance" isn't really insurance — it's a small, capped coupon. For anything big, everyone ends up paying out of pocket. And the paperwork slows down the whole process for nothing.
$1,500
Typical annual cap
Dental insurance maxes out around $1,000–$1,500 a year — a number essentially unchanged since the 1970s. On a $25,000 implant case, that covers a rounding error.
~0%
Of a full-arch it actually covers
Implants are barely covered at all. You pay premiums for years, then pay for the treatment out of pocket anyway — twice burned.
2–3 wks
Lost to insurance paperwork
Verifications and pre-authorizations clog the office for weeks — for a benefit that pays almost nothing on implants. The bureaucracy slows down the care you already decided you want.
Learn. Save. Get a real price.

Finance the gap — fairly

Your money. Not a premium.
The Smile Fund isn't insurance and it isn't a policy. It's a simple way to set money aside toward the treatment you want — money that stays yours. Pair it with the HSA or FSA dollars you may already have (implants are an eligible expense), and you close the gap without paying a middleman for coverage that was never coming.
- It stays your money. No premiums, no "use it or lose it" cap. You save toward your own care.
- HSA / FSA-friendly. Route the tax-advantaged dollars you may already have toward implants — a qualified expense.
- Paired with a real price. Save against a transparent number from a vetted specialist — not an insurance guess.
You'll know the real number — before you're in the chair.
The whole game is broken because nobody tells you what anything costs. Our specialists post a real, all-in cash price. No coverage roulette, no surprise bills, no "let me check your benefits." Just the number, and a clear way to pay it.
