I am lookingfor a dental discount program and i know that a part of the name has preferred in the title?

It is a dental plan that gets discounted services, and I think the premiums are around 19.99 monthly

I am lookingfor a dental discount program and i know that a part of the name has preferred in the title?
A lot of dental schools offer discount prices for the dental students. Kind of like a beauty school offering cheap haircuts. It's a little scarry though if you think about it. Some states have free dental facilities, but, again, I think it would be risky.





Some good dentist offer payment plans and other options. Maybe check around in your area and find one.
Reply:I just found this out, if you can find a dentist that will give you a discount (30% off) for having no insurance, it will probably be cheaper than what you pay with insurance.


My son has to have the piece of skin between his front teeth lazered off, normally $410 to do it but w/o insurance and with a 30% discount it will cost me $287. That's a deal. Cavaties cost $84 with the discount. My kids just had xrays, cleaning, and exam for $30 each, amazing I tell you. The last time a I took one of the kids to get that service done it cost me $200+ and that was with my insurance, which isn't very good. We diffianetly won't use it now!

If i buy dental insurance ?

IF I BAUGHT A DENTAL PLAN OR INSURANCE DO I HAVE TO WAIT A WHILE OR WILL IT BE AFFECTIVE IMMEDIATLY AFTER GETTING IN ORDERS TO USE IT ?

If i buy dental insurance ?
If you bought an insurance plan, the agent should have told you when the effective date was. You can use the insurance anytime on or after that date. If you have any questions, call your insurance agent.
Reply:If it is through work and you are a new hire, then it is immediately effective. If you are getting through your employments open season, then the provider will send you some mail saying when the policy goes into effect. If it is just you buying because you are self-employed, then the same thing applies, the provider will send you a letter.

I have a dental need very badly, but no insurance or money....HELP?
Yes, get financing through Care Credit.


Get a dental plan that kicks in immediately like Dental Service

Reply:If you need dental work badly...go talk with the dentist and see if he'll put you on a payment plan...like $10-25 a month or something like that. If you don't get dental problems fixed now, it may lead to worse-serious problems later and then you really can't afford it! Good luck :O)
Reply:Check to see if your city has a dental school clinic where the students are supervised in all their work.
Reply:Depending where you live there are dental clinics, either through city hospitals or county health clinics.


They are usually staffed by first year dental students. They cannot refuse treatment for financial reasons. You can pay based on a sliding scale based on income. Or apply for charitycare.


CapitalOne or CareCredit offers no interest(for one year) credit cards for specifically medical/dental.


Last go to a dental school, they often offer reduced fees.


Good luck


If you are running a fever- GO IMMEDIATELY!
Reply:Depending on where you live, there are places that can help you. There are some dental clinics that are specifically for those who need dental care and don't have insurance or alot of cash. My bf went to one and had three extractions done for a total of $45.
Reply:I don't know about your state, but Florida offers cut rate dental service thru the vocational rehabilitation department. I think you need to go thru some program with them. It sounds worth looking into.
Reply:I work for a company that offers discounted benefits for Dental and its only $19.95 a month, PLUS we are offering money back for registration fees!! The Dental plus has no limits, no waiting periods. PLUS you get Pharmacy, Vision and Chiropractor care for Free!! You would be saving lots on this!! You would be saving up to 80% on any procedures. If you would more info, visit my website: www.mybenefitsplus.com/wishes. You can also register online there.

Waiting period for dental services?

I have a PPO dental plan and there are waiting periods for certain procedures. Is this waiting period from the time the insurance starts or from the time the proposed procedure is recommended? For example my son needs braces and there is a 12 month waiting period, is that 12 months from the time the insuance started or 12 months from the time the ortho says he needs braces? Do I have to notify the insurance company prior or just wait the 12 months?

Waiting period for dental services?
You should call the insurance company to make sure. Always take down the date and who you talked to just to cover all your bases. Different companies have different plans, so your best just giving them a call.

Reply:Usually the waiting period is from the date the policy is in effect. I would call though, and maybe they can give you an exact date as to when you can get the procedure done.
Reply:Most often, it is from the time the insurance goes into effect. Ask the orthodontist to pre-authorize treatment once you pass the 12-month mark.
Reply:You would get the most accurate answer by calling your dental insurer and asking the representative.


I have a question regarding dental insurance & getting help?

I've been told i am going to lose all my teeth within ten years. Well, those ten years have probably came and went. I have gum disease and need oral surgery. I'm also very, very, very fearful of dentist. the times i've gone they've had to put me to sleep. Well, i'm going to lose all my teeth and don't feel i'll be able to go on living. i'm only 45. I need a plan to try and get my life back. I'm in pain now, have been for over a month, and i keep popping advil, motrin, aleve, probably too much. what can i do to get health insurance or a dental plan that covers surgery and can help me get a set of teeth? cause i imagine i'll lose them all, there's too much bone loss not to. I'm scared, cause i know i can die from infection if i don't do something soon. anybody got an answer or sugestions? please don't be cruel, i'm already an emotional wreck.

I have a question regarding dental insurance %26amp; getting help?
You're not going to be able to escape this problem without throwing down some cash, and facing your fears. I suggest going to dentalplans.com and picking out a discount plan, which may help lower the cost of oral surgeries, and dentures. Also, if you go to a general dentist who does not use general anesthesia, you will save yourself a lot of money. Also, i recommend signing up for CareCredit, which can be found at CareCredit.com. This is a health care credit card, which can help you break down expensive procedures into monthly payments. CareCredit and discount plans are not accepted everywhere, but both website will help you find a dentist who accepts their product. I understand your fear of the dentist, however, sometimes in life we have to face our fears, and you will find out that going to the dentist is not that awful. Everyone has had bad experiences, etc., but you need to remember that the dentist is there to help you. If you feel pain while the procedure is ongoing, TELL THEM. They will not continue if that is the case, but they are also not mind-readers! Hope this helps a bit, and I urge you to do something about this problem, because doing nothing is only hurting you.


Dentist when to ask about cost of dental procedure?

If i am planning on visiting a this dental office for the first time, when would it be appropriate to ask about the cost of the procedure? I have a dental plan. Should i call and set up an appointment and ask about the cost at that time? or Should I wait until my appointment to ask about the costs in person?

Dentist when to ask about cost of dental procedure?
i just went to the dentist today for the first time in a while. he needed to take xrays and pictures to make a assessment on what i needed done. made my next appointment b4 i left and i will get prices when i go back. so i think he needs to do all that stuff b4 he can give you a quote.but if its something simple i think you can call and ask.
Reply:i would have the consult and determine what the treatment plan is and at that point, they can give you an itemized estimate and even better, send in a pre-treatment estimate to your insurance to get a more accurate out of pocket amount for you.

Who to call about improving the Postal employees dental coverage?

We have the worst dental coverage there is.My husbanbd works for the Post office,we have Blue cross blue shield and they cover basically nothing and what they do cover they cover by maybe $12! We tried to find a separate dental insurance but it isn't offered anywhere,just dental rebates.Why does the Post office not offer a better dental plan? We had Blue cross before with a different employer and they covered almost all except for crowns and if we did pay a part it was nominal.It is really the Post office that decides the contract and coverage for their employees.Is there any hope that I can contact anyone to ask for improvement?
