I was also able to switch plans once to a plan with lower fees on the root canal I needed. Without these plans, you are stuck paying ridiculous amount of money every time you visit regardless of what you are having done. Cosmetic dentists usually give a 20% discount on porcelain veneers and other types of Hollywood type of dentistry. My kids will be getting braces and we look forward to saving 20% on the entire cost of orthodontic treatment. Looking for a dental plan on the internet used to be very difficult. Most dentists do participate and I was shock to find my dentist participated in several of the plans in my area. 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. 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. 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. I urge you to investigate discount plans because they are the wave of the future when it comes to saving money at the dentist. |
