I was able to save $1500 on my dental implants and my father in-law saved $1800 on his dentures with these plans. When looking for a new provider, I found myself going through the yellow pages looking for someone near my house that I could start visiting. Unless you have a discount dental program which will allow you to save a percentage off what you would normally pay for your dental care services. 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. I was also able to switch plans once to a plan with lower fees on the root canal I needed. Most dentists do participate and I was shock to find my dentist participated in several of the plans in my area. Without these plans, you are stuck paying ridiculous amount of money every time you visit regardless of what you are having done. 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. Steps are being taken to correct this issue and soon there should be quality providers in every area of America. The provider list was very comprehensive in my area and there were providers within 3 miles of my house and work. |
