But what I found was that looking online was be far the superior method of hunting down a good dentist in my area. 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. These discount plans are great because they provide savings on everything from Braces, Gum surgery, Endodontics, and child dentistry. Steps are being taken to correct this issue and soon there should be quality providers in every area of America. I was able to save $1500 on my dental implants and my father in-law saved $1800 on his dentures with these plans. 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. 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. 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. My kids are looking forward to having straight teeth. |
