Affordable Dental Plans

 

While there are over 47,000,000 Americans who lack health insurance, even more individuals lack a dental plan.  It has been found that 7 out of 10 Americans do not have a dental plan.  Even among the 30% who do have a dental plan, most of the dental insurance plans available are inadequate.  Often these plans have waiting periods, age limits, and serious limits on coverage.  With the high cost of a dental visit, a $1,000 or $1,500 expenditure limit per year won't take a family very far.  Often essential services like orthodontia are not covered, and usually there is no coverage for cosmetic dentistry or implants even though these services provide for a person's psychological well being and even their ability to eat comfortably.  Should you have a pre-existing dental coverage, you are generally out of luck. 

Dental Discount Plans 

Discount Dental Plans are an excellent choice for saving money on dental care. These plans offer consumers significant saving on all dental work, including braces, implants, and cosmetic dentistry. Savings often range from 25% for specialist treatment to 80% for exams. Major dental procedures such as fillings, root canal treatment, dentures, crowns and bridges, and orthodontia offer discounts from 50% to 60%. In addition, discounts are available for implants and cosmetic dentistry. There is no need to worry if you have an ongoing condition, you will still be able to receive treatment at a discount.

Some Features to Look For 

Here are some additional features to look for when choosing a dental plan:


  • No limits on visits or services

  • Instant Savings

  • No age limits

  • No paperwork

  • No waiting period

  • Ongoing dental problems are accepted

  • Orthodontia and cosmetic dentistry are included


When looking for an affordable dental plan, be sure to look for a plan that offers a good choice of dental providers in your local area and an 800 customer service number. It is also important to choose a plan that is a member of the National Association of Dental Plans. A plan's membership in the NADP is your assurance of the integrity and quality of the plan. Many dental plans also offer value added services such as a prescription card and discounts on vision and chiropractic care.
