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 am going to tell all of my friends and family about these great plans and I understand they have a rewards program for free products and services from their company. I was also able to switch plans once to a plan with lower fees on the root canal I needed. 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. Cosmetic dentists usually give a 20% discount on porcelain veneers and other types of Hollywood type of dentistry. 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. Saving anything at a specialist is better than paying full-price I always say. 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. 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. |
