Cosmetic dentists usually give a 20% discount on porcelain veneers and other types of Hollywood type of dentistry. I tried to get a traditional individual dental insurance and I was running up against brick walls with the sign-up process and I was told I’d likely have to wait a year to get the plan activated. These discount plans are great because they provide savings on everything from Braces, Gum surgery, Endodontics, and child dentistry. They are all discount dental plans which means you save up to 60% on your dental care at their listing of participating providers in your area. This really added up to significant savings for me and over the course of a year saved my family $680.00 which more than covered the annual enrollment fee. Studies show that you should go to the dentist for an oral exam, cleaning, and bitewing x-ray every 6-months, although it may no be necessary to get x-rayed more than once per year. I was also able to switch plans once to a plan with lower fees on the root canal I needed. When looking for a new provider, I found myself going through the yellow pages looking for someone near my house that I could start visiting. Steps are being taken to correct this issue and soon there should be quality providers in every area of America. |
