This is a great benefit and there are generally no hassells associated with these plans. The provider list was very comprehensive in my area and there were providers within 3 miles of my house and work. These discount plans are great because they provide savings on everything from Braces, Gum surgery, Endodontics, and child dentistry. Saving anything at a specialist is better than paying full-price I always say. Most dentists do participate and I was shock to find my dentist participated in several of the plans in my area. 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. Without these plans, you are stuck paying ridiculous amount of money every time you visit regardless of what you are having done. My kids will be getting braces and we look forward to saving 20% on the entire cost of orthodontic treatment. Make sure you choose a plan that will let go to a dentist near your house or make need to choose a specialist in you need more advanced type of dental correction. 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. |
