I was able to save $1500 on my dental implants and my father in-law saved $1800 on his dentures with these plans.

The provider list was very comprehensive in my area and there were providers within 3 miles of my house and work.

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.

But what I found was that looking online was be far the superior method of hunting down a good dentist in my area.

I wanted a dentist that was affordable and of good quality. You only have one set of teeth and I didn’t want them negatively affected.

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.

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.

These discount plans are great because they provide savings on everything from Braces, Gum surgery, Endodontics, and child dentistry.

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.
