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. 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. Most dentists do participate and I was shock to find my dentist participated in several of the plans 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. 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 is a great benefit and there are generally no hassells associated with these plans. I highly recommend these discount dental programs because they really do help you to save money on everything from cosmetic dentistry, laser dentistry, whitening, fillings, wisdon teeth extractions, oral surgery, braces, gum surgery, and just about every other dental procedure. I was able to save $1500 on my dental implants and my father in-law saved $1800 on his dentures with these plans. 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. |
