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. 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 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. Without these plans, you are stuck paying ridiculous amount of money every time you visit regardless of what you are having done. I was able to save $1500 on my dental implants and my father in-law saved $1800 on his dentures with these plans. Looking for a dental plan on the internet used to be very difficult. Steps are being taken to correct this issue and soon there should be quality providers in every area of America. But what I found was that looking online was be far the superior method of hunting down a good dentist in my area. 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. My kids are looking forward to having straight teeth. |
