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.

I was also able to switch plans once to a plan with lower fees on the root canal I needed.

The provider list was very comprehensive in my area and there were providers within 3 miles of my house and work.

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.

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.

Make sure you choose a plan that will let go to a dentist near your house or make need to choose a specialist in you need more advanced type of dental correction.

If seems that if you do not have a traditional insurance plan through your employer or work, you just simple do not have any type of coverage and you are stuck paying full price.

But what I found was that looking online was be far the superior method of hunting down a good dentist in my area.

Unless you have a discount dental program which will allow you to save a percentage off what you would normally pay for your dental care services.
