Most dentists do participate and I was shock to find my dentist participated in several of the plans in my area. 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. Saving anything at a specialist is better than paying full-price I always say. These discount plans are great because they provide savings on everything from Braces, Gum surgery, Endodontics, and child dentistry. 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. 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 wanted a dentist that was affordable and of good quality. You only have one set of teeth and I didn’t want them negatively affected. 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. I was able to save $1500 on my dental implants and my father in-law saved $1800 on his dentures with these plans. |
