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. Cosmetic dentists usually give a 20% discount on porcelain veneers and other types of Hollywood type of dentistry. 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. 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. Without these plans, you are stuck paying ridiculous amount of money every time you visit regardless of what you are having done. These discount plans are great because they provide savings on everything from Braces, Gum surgery, Endodontics, and child dentistry. This is a great benefit and there are generally no hassells associated with these plans. This really added up to significant savings for me and over the course of a year saved my family $680.00 which more than covered the annual enrollment fee. |
