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. I was able to save $1500 on my dental implants and my father in-law saved $1800 on his dentures with these plans. 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. 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.

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. Cosmetic dentists usually give a 20% discount on porcelain veneers and other types of Hollywood type of dentistry. 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. 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. |
