In California there are many good dental discount plans that are available. On our website we offer. Dental discount plans though Aetna, and New Dental Choice. Dental discount plans are a good low cost dental plan option. They do not have many of the limitations that dental insurance plans may come with.

Many of our dental discount plans start within the next business day of your on line enrollment. Which is very good for those people that are in dental pain since they can see a dentist right away. Dental discount plans are not for everyone. But they are a good way to reduce all your dental needs at a very affordable cost.

When deciding between dental discount plans carefully review their fee schedules. The fee schedules show the discount prices on what you pay for each dental service listed. You also want to make sure there is a dentist in the dental plan you want to go to. Since there is no outside network benefits. I suggest calling the dentist listed and confirming they are still accepting the plan as well as new members.

What is Discount Dental Plans?

A discount dental plan provides discounted dental prices through a network of dentists but is not a dental insurance company and in not an insurance dental plan and is not regulated by the department of insurance.

You can obtain quotes for more affordable dental insurance plans from companies online and through your local insurance agent or broker. Please keep in mind that there are many web sites who give the appearance of selling dental insurance but instead only offer a dental discount plan which is not insurance.

Your dentist may also have affordable dental plan options available to patients.  Ask the receptionist if they partner with a dental plan company and see if one might be right for you.

Question: I live in Virginia with my husband and three year old son.  My husband should see a dentist about a filling that came out four weeks ago.  He been putting it off since we do not currently have dental benefits and he thinks it will cost to much to fix.  I would like to find a low cost dental plan that will make my husbands dental cost lower.

Answer: I would suggest looking at one of our dental discount plans since your husband should see a dentist as soon as possible and you do not want to pick up dental insurance that would have waiting periods.  Our dental discount plans, will help to reduce the cost of him having a new filling put in and they are effective within the next business day with no waiting periods.

I am a working single mom.   I work part time so I can be at home when my child is off from school.  We do not have dental insurance and I am finding dental insurance to costly for me to get.  I been looking at some of the dental discount plans you have to offer but since I never bough a discount plan before can you tell me how they work?

Reply: With dental discount plans you are receiving reduce cost for your dental services at dental offices that are providers of the plan.  Most dental discount plans will provide a discounted fee schedule that shows your discounted cost for many dental services at a general/family dental provider office.  Normally for dental services not listed on this schedule you received 15-20 percent saving off the dentist normal charges for that service.   You will also received around 15-20 percent off any plan specialist cost if you choose to go to a specialist in the plan.  Note not all discount plans are the same so make sure you do read the plans terms and conditions to be sure of it’s benefits.

Reviewing your dental insurance plans I notice you also offer dental discount choices.  How would you advise someone who is thinking about getting a dental plan what to look for.  I can not afford the dental insurance choices I seen on line so it come down to getting a plan in order to save any money off my dental services.  I just not sure how to tell which plan would be better.

Reply: With dental discount plans here are a few things to check off to make sure you are getting the plan that right for your needs.

1) Compare cost of plans: Normally cost with dental discount do not very greatly but this still can be a factor for people.

2) Compare the plans discounted fee schedule for services that are listed. Most dental discount plans will provide a set discounted fee schedule that will show your discounted prices for different dental services provided by the plan general/family dental offices. Pick out a few dental services you feel you will be needing to compare cost with out having to compare each line item.

3) Compare the dental providers in each plan.  Choosing a dentist or making sure there are dental office in the plan you want to go to is important.  If you do not care for the dental providers that are in the plan the odds are you will not use it.  Make sure to call the dentist in the plan and confirm they are in fact still a provider and ask any other questions that may be important to you so that you feel convertible going to that provider under the plan

My son is currently in braces.  I have a dental discount plan that save me 20% and it has been working well for me.  However now my husband job is making us move.  My worry is that we will be changing states.  My son still has his braces and they will not be done in time for the move since he need them for another year.  Will I still be able to get my 20% discount under the plan with another plan dentist.

Reply: It can depend on the discount plan you have, such is the plan offer in the state that you are moving to? If so are their any providers in the area that you are moving to?  In general it should not be an issue since you had the dental discount plan when your son first started the orthodontic services. However, if you know the zip code of where you will be moving to, I suggest calling up your dental discount plan members service line and asking them these questions.

Well I come to a dission that I will be getting a dental discount plan.  My problem is I am not sure which one is the best.  Cost wise I see they are around the same give or take a few dollars.  How do I know for sure the one I get is the best plan.  Help in picking a plan is needed.
