I urge you to investigate discount plans because they are the wave of the future when it comes to saving money at the dentist. The provider list was very comprehensive in my area and there were providers within 3 miles of my house and work. 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. My kids are looking forward to having straight teeth. 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. Cosmetic dentists usually give a 20% discount on porcelain veneers and other types of Hollywood type of dentistry. Make sure you choose a plan that will let go to a dentist near your house or make need to choose a specialist in you need more advanced type of dental correction. 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. I was also able to switch plans once to a plan with lower fees on the root canal I needed. This is a great benefit and there are generally no hassells associated with these plans. |
