Cosmetic dentists usually give a 20% discount on porcelain veneers and other types of Hollywood type of dentistry. 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. These discount plans are great because they provide savings on everything from Braces, Gum surgery, Endodontics, and child dentistry. The provider list was very comprehensive in my area and there were providers within 3 miles of my house and work. 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. 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. I was able to save $1500 on my dental implants and my father in-law saved $1800 on his dentures with these plans. My kids will be getting braces and we look forward to saving 20% on the entire cost of orthodontic treatment. |
