Most dentists do participate and I was shock to find my dentist participated in several of the plans in my area. 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. 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. 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. I highly recommend these discount dental programs because they really do help you to save money on everything from cosmetic dentistry, laser dentistry, whitening, fillings, wisdon teeth extractions, oral surgery, braces, gum surgery, and just about every other dental procedure. Comparing the various dental plans in my area was really easy when I could look at them side to side and really see the differences in pricing for different procedures. 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. Steps are being taken to correct this issue and soon there should be quality providers in every area of America. 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. |
