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. These discount plans are great because they provide savings on everything from Braces, Gum surgery, Endodontics, and child dentistry. 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. 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. 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. 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 was able to save $1500 on my dental implants and my father in-law saved $1800 on his dentures with these plans. Most dentists do participate and I was shock to find my dentist participated in several of the plans in my area. But what I found was that looking online was be far the superior method of hunting down a good dentist in my area. |
