The provider list was very comprehensive in my area and there were providers within 3 miles of my house and work. If you have pre-existing conditions you are still accepts, all of your dental work will be discounted from the dentist's normal charges. 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. Without these plans, you are stuck paying ridiculous amount of money every time you visit regardless of what you are having done. Comparing the various dental plans in my area was really easy when I could look at them side to side and really see the differences in pricing for different procedures. 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 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. I urge you to investigate discount plans because they are the wave of the future when it comes to saving money at the dentist. Most dentists do participate and I was shock to find my dentist participated in several of the plans in my area. Looking for a dental plan on the internet used to be very difficult. |
