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. Without these plans, you are stuck paying ridiculous amount of money every time you visit regardless of what you are having done. Saving anything at a specialist is better than paying full-price I always say. With the discount plan I bought, I was approved with 48 hours and I was seeing my dentist like 2 days after getting my membership. My kids will be getting braces and we look forward to saving 20% on the entire cost of orthodontic treatment. 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. This is a great benefit and there are generally no hassells associated with these plans. 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. Most dentists do participate and I was shock to find my dentist participated in several of the plans in my 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. |
