Dental Plans

Discount dental and vision plans

As healthcare costs are high in the U.S., most people have medical insurance. In fact, it is mandated by the U.S. government that U.S. citizens and residents maintain adequate medical insurance.

However, many people overlook buying a dental insurance or a dental discount plan. At minimum, people need preventative or basic services, others may need more costly dental work or they may even have sudden tooth pain.

The problem is that most dental insurance plans have a waiting period before getting anything meaningful is covered. Root canals may not be covered until being insured for one year, crown/bridge only after two years and when it is covered, it will cover only up to 50%, or up to $1,000 or $1,500. Those amounts are highly insufficient when the full cost of such procedures is considered.

Since this is not insurance, dental discount plans have no exclusions for pre-existing conditions, no claim forms or reimbursement hassles, and no annual cap on the spending amount or frequency. Dental discount plans are low cost, provide great savings, and have become very popular for many individuals and families.

Moreover, if you are a visitor to the U.S., you don't have a social security number. Most insurance companies will not provide any dental insurance without a social security number. For visiting people, enrolling into a dental discount plan would be your only choice.

In addition to the dental discounts at participating providers, members save 20% to 40% off the retail price of eyewear through the EyeMed Vision Care Access network*.

Save 5% to 60% on most dental procedures including routine oral exams, unlimited cleanings and major work such as dentures, root canals and crowns at participating providers. Making dental discount plans well worth the money spent.
