I urge you to investigate discount plans because they are the wave of the future when it comes to saving money at the dentist. If you have pre-existing conditions you are still accepts, all of your dental work will be discounted from the dentist's normal charges. I was also able to switch plans once to a plan with lower fees on the root canal I needed. I was able to save $1500 on my dental implants and my father in-law saved $1800 on his dentures with these plans. These discount plans are great because they provide savings on everything from Braces, Gum surgery, Endodontics, and child dentistry. This is a great benefit and there are generally no hassells associated with these plans. Without these plans, you are stuck paying ridiculous amount of money every time you visit regardless of what you are having done. 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. 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. |
