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. My kids will be getting braces and we look forward to saving 20% on the entire cost of orthodontic treatment. 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. But what I found was that looking online was be far the superior method of hunting down a good dentist in my area. They are all discount dental plans which means you save up to 60% on your dental care at their listing of participating providers in your area. My kids are looking forward to having straight teeth. 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. I was able to save $1500 on my dental implants and my father in-law saved $1800 on his dentures with these plans. Saving anything at a specialist is better than paying full-price I always say. |
