Questions about Dental

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20″][vc_accordion active_tab=”false” collapsible=”yes”][vc_accordion_tab title=”What are Dental Discount Plans?”][vc_column_text]

Discount dental plans are an easy and reliable way to help you save money at the dentist.

These plans give members access to significant discounts at in-network dental offices for a wide range of procedures. Discount dental plans can help you save money while offering you the quality dental care you need. Members save on preventive treatments like cleanings and x-rays, and on major treatments like root canals and bridges.

Additionally, the dentists in our network have agreed to treat our members with the same quality care, but at significantly discounted rates. When you become a member of one of our discount dental plans, you’ll pay the dentist directly when you go in for your appointment, but at a discounted rate. You don’t need to worry about filling out complex paperwork or waiting for reimbursements.

These plans are a great option for people who:

  • Do not belong to an exclusive organization
  • Do not have dental coverage through an employer
  • Have immediate dental needs
  • Have reached the annual limit for another dental program
  • Have prior dental conditions
  • Want to save on dental work
