Dental Savings Plan at Little Molars Pediatric Dentistry
Quality pediatric dental care for your child, made simple and affordable with our in-house membership plan.
For families in West Caldwell and the surrounding area, finding a pediatric dentist who takes their insurance can feel like a challenge on its own. When coverage falls short or simply isn't available, parents are often left weighing whether to delay care or pay full price out of pocket. At Little Molars Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Chirag Patel offers a straightforward in-house dental savings plan designed to give uninsured and underinsured families access to the preventive pediatric dental care their children need, without the complexity of traditional insurance. The plan includes essential services, a meaningful discount on treatment, and none of the red tape that comes with most insurance policies. No deductibles, no waiting periods, no pre-authorizations, and no annual maximums.
Membership Plans
Little Molars offers two membership plan tiers based on your child's age. Each plan provides the same core benefits and treatment discount, with pricing structured to reflect the level of care typically needed at each stage of a child's dental development. Whichever plan fits your family, you can count on predictable annual pricing and consistent access to care.
Ages 1 to 3 — $300/year
What's Included in Your Plan: All necessary x-rays for the year, two dental cleanings with fluoride application, emergency exams, and 25% off any necessary treatment.
Ages 4 and Above — $450/year
What's Included in Your Plan: All necessary x-rays for the year, two dental cleanings with fluoride application, emergency exams, and 25% off any necessary treatment.
Disclosure: This membership plan is not insurance. It is a discount plan that provides access to reduced-cost dental services at Little Molars Pediatric Dentistry. All fees are due at the time of service. The 25% discount on treatment must be paid in full by the last visit. Unused benefits are forfeited after the one-year membership period expires, and no refunds will be issued for any unused portion of the plan.

Understanding Your Membership Benefits
How the Plan Period Works
Once your membership fee is paid, benefits are available for a full year from that date. For example, if you enroll on June 1st, your plan benefits remain active through May 31st of the following year. This applies to all included services, including cleanings, x-rays, emergency exams, and the 25% treatment discount. Planning your child's routine dental cleaning visits within that window ensures your family gets the full value of the plan each year.
It is worth noting that the 25% discount applies to treatment needed beyond the included preventive services, such as cavity treatment, dental sealants, and other procedures. Any discounted treatment must be paid in full by the last visit of that treatment. The plan does not carry over, and unused benefits cannot be refunded or rolled into a future membership period, so making those routine appointments count is the best way to maximize what your family receives.

How Our Process Works
Getting started with the Little Molars dental savings plan is simple. There are no lengthy applications or approval timelines involved. The steps below give you a clear picture of what to expect from enrollment through your child's first visit under the plan.
1. Choose Your Plan
Select the membership tier that matches your child's age. Children ages 1 to 3 are enrolled at $300 per year, and children ages 4 and above are enrolled at $450 per year. If you have questions about which plan is right for your child, the team at Little Molars is happy to help you determine the best fit before you commit.
2. Pay the Annual Membership Fee
The membership fee is paid at enrollment and covers the full one-year benefit period. Little Molars accepts cash and major credit cards. Checks are not accepted. If your family uses a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA), those funds may also be used toward your membership fee and any out-of-pocket treatment costs throughout the year.
3. Schedule Your Child’s Appointments
Once enrolled, you can contact the office to schedule your child's included preventive visits. Two cleanings with fluoride are covered under the plan, along with all necessary x-rays and emergency exams. The Little Molars team will work with you to find appointment times that fit your schedule.
4. Receive Care and Apply Your Discount
When your child needs treatment beyond the included preventive services, your 25% membership discount applies automatically. Any treatment costs with the discount applied are due in full by the last visit. The team will walk you through what is covered and what your out-of-pocket costs will look like before any work begins, so there are no surprises.
Getting your child started on a strong path of preventive dental care early makes a meaningful difference in their long-term oral health, and the savings plan at Little Molars is built to make that as accessible as possible for West Caldwell area families.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Does the membership plan work alongside dental insurance?
A. The in-house savings plan is designed primarily for families who do not have dental insurance or whose plan is not accepted at Little Molars. It is not intended to be used in combination with insurance benefits for the same services. If you have active dental insurance and Little Molars is in network with your plan, your insurance benefits would apply instead.
Q. What happens if my child needs a procedure that goes beyond the included services?
A. Any necessary treatment beyond the included preventive services, such as fillings, emergency pediatric dental care, or other procedures, is discounted by 25% for active plan members. That discounted amount is due in full by the last visit of the treatment. The team will review your child's treatment plan and costs with you before any work begins so you know exactly what to expect.
Q. Can I enroll mid-year, and what happens to unused benefits?
A. Yes, you can enroll at any time. Your benefit period begins on the date your membership fee is paid and runs for exactly one year from that date. Unused benefits, such as cleanings not yet scheduled, do not carry over past the plan expiration date and are not eligible for a refund. To get the most out of the plan, it is recommended to schedule both included cleanings well within your benefit year.
