With the discount plan I bought, I was approved with 48 hours and I was seeing my dentist like 2 days after getting my membership.

The provider list was very comprehensive in my area and there were providers within 3 miles of my house and work.

I tried to get a traditional individual dental insurance and I was running up against brick walls with the sign-up process and I was told I’d likely have to wait a year to get the plan activated.

But what I found was that looking online was be far the superior method of hunting down a good dentist in my area.

These discount plans are great because they provide savings on everything from Braces, Gum surgery, Endodontics, and child dentistry.

Cosmetic dentists usually give a 20% discount on porcelain veneers and other types of Hollywood type of dentistry.

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.

My kids will be getting braces and we look forward to saving 20% on the entire cost of orthodontic treatment.

I was also able to switch plans once to a plan with lower fees on the root canal I needed.

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.
