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. 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. 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. Most dentists do participate and I was shock to find my dentist participated in several of the plans in my area. I urge you to investigate discount plans because they are the wave of the future when it comes to saving money at the dentist. 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. 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. Looking for a dental plan on the internet used to be very difficult. 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. I was able to save $1500 on my dental implants and my father in-law saved $1800 on his dentures with these plans. |
