Insurance Plan for Seniors, Dental Insurance Comparison
Q.:I need an insurance policy for dentures. I need a plan that does not exclude seniors. I need dental insurance for seniors that will cover my extractions and dentures.
I have osteoporosis. I had a triple bypass surgery. I am on 19 medicines now. This has been taking toll on my teeth. 13 of them must now come out. I do have United Concordia dental plan now but that plan does not cover crowns, it does not cover dentures, and I even have to wait until the next year to get more extractions done. My annual maximum is $1,000! My husband is not happy with the plan either. He has all his teeth still. He had to pay $110 out of his own pocket last time he visited the dentist. The quote I got for extractions and dentures I need was $6,000! And I have inquired with other places such as Affordable Dentures, where I would only pay $450. However I am questioning the quality of the dentures for such a low price. I have an appointment with yet another dentist on Thursday to see what my third opinion and quote will be. I want the plan for later too, my husband will want to continue to see a dentist on a regular basis. Even me with the dentures, I will want to be sure just in case I lose a tooth that I will have coverage ready.
N. L., Schluyhillhaven, GA
A.: N. L., First off, you are doing the right thing, checking out several dentist's offices and comparing the quality of work and the prices. A lot of insurances in the USA today are like that, not keeping up with the true costs. The insurances have ridiculously low annual maximums (same as 40 years ago) that do not come even close to covering dental costs of today. The dental costs as you may know have even surpassed inflation by a significant margin. Annual maximums simply never kept pace.
What I can suggest is to continue to look for the best quality at the lowest price. This time, however, visit a dentist that participates with one of the discount dental plans. That way you will get at least 20% savings, possibly as much as 65% on your needed extractions and dentures. And, you will not need to wait another year to get your dentures. There are no annual maximums unlike with the plan you have now, no limitations of any kind, just straight discounts. So you won't have to worry about the cost so much anymore.
Just focus on the quality and make sure you like the dentist and you feel confident they will do a great job. So you will get dentures that will serve you well for a good number of years to come.

Dental Implants Insurance Vs. Dental Implants Discount: Three Ways To Save Money
Dental implant procedure is becoming a commonplace today in the USA. The relative simplicity compared to root canal and crown treatment, a minimal chance of complications, and modern implant materials and procedures are making dental implant service a viable alternative to root canal and crown or a dental bridge. The question remains, and is asked of Dental Cool a lot: Can I get dental implants affordably.
With the price of an implant ranging from $1500 to $3000 or more for a single tooth, combined with the fact that many patients require several implants, the dental implants procedure is not cheap. How can you save money on dental implants?
One way of course is to shop around. Dentists determine their own price based on their cost, area in which they do business, within the general guidelines from American Dental Association. In this economy where access to capital is quite limited, a dentist may give you a lower price in exchange for a cash payment or a payment in a few installments.
The second way is to purchase a dental insurance that covers dental implants. Recently, several insurances are offering coverage for dental implants. This was not the case in the past when only the highest-level insurances even included dental implants. When picking up a dental insurance, watch for several "details" usually buried in the small print that could cost you dearly: Look into and ask about the "exclusion clauses". Do the exclusion clauses include dental implants or crowns? Look into "waiting periods". Are waiting periods pertaining to dental implants? They can be a year, sometimes two years long. Thirdly, what are the annual maximums of the given dental implant insurance plan? Are they comparable to the total cost of the dental implant work that you need? And, last, make sure you have qualified dentists in your area that are trained and perform dental implant surgery routinely.
The third and the simplest way to reduce cost of your dental implants is to purchase a solid, nationwide discount dental plan. Most of nationwide discount dental plans include dental implants. The savings will be anywhere from 15% to 25% on the implant work and 25% to 65% on the associated crown work. There is no question about "exclusion clauses" with dental implant discount plans - most of them include implant work. There are no waiting periods - you can use the plan as soon as you receive your package with the plan cards in the mail. Also, if you do need several dental implants, there are no annual maximums so there will be no surprises. With the discount dental plans for dental implants you are expected to pay the discounted price at the time of service. However, usually a dentist will probably be able to extend a payment plan to you. This will further help your finances. And, just like with the dental implant insurances, be sure to have a qualified local dentist or specialist in the network. A dentist you can trust and who has a solid record of performing dental implant procedures.
The three ways you can save money on dental implants do not preclude each other. You can use one of them and you can use all three of them for the same implant procedure. You can shop around for a great dentist that will take both your dental implant insurance and dental implant discount plan. Just make sure the dentist office participates with all the plans that you purchase.

Invisalign Insurance or Invisalign Dental Plan
Q.: I need a supplemental dental plan. I currently have United Concordia. That plan covers just about anything but it doesn't cover invisalign braces for me. So I am looking for invisalign insurance.
I have got a quote already. The invisalign braces will cost me $5,000 without coverage. I need no other services but would like my invisalign braces started by the end of December this year.
M. S., Newport News, Virginia
A.: M. S., You sound determined that you want your invisalign braces and invisalign insurance right away. So you want a plan with no waiting periods, and no exclusions like United Concordia. At least no exclusions for invisalign braces. Normally most dental plans carry a waiting period for braces or invisaligns. If you purchase them on an individual basis, outside a larger group, the waiting periods are typically one to two years. You can avoid waiting periods like that by purchasing a supplemental discount dental plan.
With a plan like that you will receive immediate savings on orthodontics, and there will be no limits on services providing you visit a participating provider/orthodontist or general dentist that does braces or invisaligns. The choice is up to you, depending on how long you want to wait before you get started straightening your teeth and getting your perfect smile back!

Dental School Clinic Inconvenient, Want Dental Insurance Rates
Q.:I would like information on dental insurance rates, on dental insurance for individual and percent coverage. I need work done, primarily dental implants. I also need root canals, ten of them. Right now I need one implant.
I've got a quote for this implant of about $2000, $900 for the implant and the rest for the dental crown. Root canals are $600 without coverage. I would like coverage asap. I have previously considered going to a dental school clinic but this route turned out to be very time consuming. So I want to go the private dentist office route. Dental implant will need to "sit in" for six months before I put on the crown. I really wanted to get to the dentist now to prevent further decay of teeth needing root canals.
J. N., Philadelphia, PA
A.: Dear J. N., In your situation you need the best dental discount plan you can get. A plan with highest percentage savings, no waiting periods, if possible no deductibles, and no exclusions on restorative work such as root canals or implants. There are several reasons why this will be the best solution for you. First, you want to get the implant work started asap and you want your root canals soon. Second, you have a lot of work to be done, well over typical dental insurance for individual carries annual maximums of $1000 to $3000. I will give you a list of dental discount plans for individuals. Make sure savings on root canals and implants are satisfactory, make sure you have a selection of dentists and specialists within the driving distance from your zip code, and sign up for one of the plans. There will be no waiting periods and you can start scheduling your appointment with a participating dentist as soon as tomorrow.

Tooth Hurts, See a Dentist ASAP
Q.: My tooth hurts. That is the main reason I'm calling. Yes, I do want to save on dental cleanings costs, examinations, X-rays and the whole nine yards for my children and a husband. But recently, one of my fillings came out and that tooth is hurting. I probably need other fillings filled as well, but I need to go see a dentist asap.
N. B., Las Vegas, Nevada
A.: Sorry to hear about your pain. What you need is a plan with no waiting periods. Some dental insurance plans will give you free cleanings but when it comes to restorative work like fillings or root canals and crowns, they will slap you with long waiting periods. Such as one year or even longer. You do not want that. You want a plan that has good, large network of dentists in your area (Las Vegas), no waiting periods, and can get you to a dentist right away. I mean even before you get your cards and the package in the mail. Just in case. Being in pain is no fun.

Wisdom Teeth Extractions: Supplemental Dental Plan Needed, Union Plan Insufficient. Dental Payment Plan
Q.: I have right now a dental plan from my Union. This plan does not cover enough. For example, my wife needs wisdom teeth removed. It has gotten so far as the wisdom tooth coming in and pushing on the roots of the tooth next to it. That then killed the nerve on the other tooth! The dentist we went to asked for $640 upfront for the cost of extractions of wisdom teeth, with the total of $1500.
What supplemental dental plans do you have that would help defray this cost? Also, I need to make sure my four girls are taken care of. It used to be you paid $10-$15 for ANY filling. These days, it goes by categories! You can expect a different price for a filling if just the enamel is affected, a higher price if the second tooth layer is affected, and even higher price if the third layer is affected! We as a family are really having a hard time right now. The Union job I held was going slow and I am not getting back to work until January. Also, I would like to go to a dentist that will set me up with a dental payment plan; all dentists we went to wanted all cash payment upfront and wouldn't set up a payment plan! Fortunately, the wife is not in pain right at this moment. She could however see a dentist any time, really.
T. T., Section, Alabama
A.: Dear T. T., The times have changed, haven't they? Everything seems more expensive than it used to be and more complicated. Cost of filling classified by 3 categories, incredible! And dentists prefer to see cash on hand when they would be happy with just extending a payment plan as little as a year ago. Times have changed. What has not changed much is that there are plans out there, called discount dental plans that can help you lower your cost dramatically. They will save you on any procedure that a dentist or dental specialist such as oral surgeon, is licensed to do. Depending on type of extraction, the wisdom teeth are usually extracted by oral surgeons. As far as a payment plan, you could get one through Care Credit but they will want to see you haveing a good credit rating. Also, as the wisdom teeth can flare up anytime, you want a plan that has no waiting periods. A plan with high annual maximum would suit you as well. You are probably close to your annual limit just for your wife's extractions. I'll include a site with more information on a few plans with no waiting periods and high or no annual maximums.

Abscessed Teeth. Need Dental Services Right Away Because of Several Abscessed Teeth. Tooth Extractions. Dentures. Prescription Drugs.
Q.: Hello, I am in a dire need of dental services right away. I have a severe abscessed tooth in my mouth. All in all I need several extractions. Several of my teeth are broken at the gumline, others are deteriorated. In fact, today, a number of my teeth are abscessing.
I feel the problems with my teeth stem from me being a truck driver transporting enormous amounts of sludge which is filled with bacteria. Many of my coworkers and other working in the industry turn out with the same kinds of problems. I have a dentist appointment next week and I'm looking at a $25-$180 fee for each extraction. Which I will need 12-20 of. I am also looking at $350-$500 for each denture afterwards. And, as for other health related services, I am spending $250 a month on my medications and have no medical or dental insurance. How can you help?
D. G., Port St. Lucie, FL
A.: Dear D. G., Not the most enviable situation you are in right now. Let's see. What you need is a good solid dental plan with good savings, no waiting periods, low or no deductibles, and especially high annual maximum. Since you are in a hurry, the plan I always recommend in an emergency is One Simple Card. The reason: You can get complete information there online and you can sign up online as well, and the dental portion of the plan is activated instantly. You can go see a dentist the very next day. There are no annual maximums with this plan and the savings are substantial, typically 40%-60% for the services you mentioned. Incidentally, you will find information on a few optional medical plans as well. They can help you with your prescription drug costs and your doctors visits costs. Best of luck to you.

Shocked For Losing Dental Coverage: A Retired Couple From Novato Losing Dental Insurance in 30 Days. Is There a Substitute for the Dental Plan They Have Been Accustomed To For 40 Year?
Q: We are a couple who retired two years ago. We are looking to continue our dental coverage. Our Cobra is running out in a month. We've been accustomed to having dental insurance for forty years. It was quite a shock when we realized our dental insurance is ending. What we need covered is an exam and cleanings twice a year, an occasional filling, crown or root canal. We do not know the costs of these services without coverage as we practically never had to pay the full price. We also would like to keep our dentist that we've been going to for a long time. We've noticed a lot of plans out there have long waiting periods and we just do not want to wait a year or two before we can use our benefits.
P. F. from Novato, California
A: Dear P. F., I can understand your frustration. Just when you retire, and when your dental needs may become the greatest, you run out of company-sponsored coverage. I've seen that happen over and over again.
Medicare for the most part does not touch dental and so you are left out there on your own. Another shock for sure is that you've been accustomed to coverage, and you hardly even seen any expense related to that as it was taken out of your paycheck before you even saw the money. Now, the dental expense will be out of your own pocket.
I would ask your dentist what dental plans his/her office accepts first. Dental offices, however are notorious for recommending names that make for great group plans such as the one you had before retirement. However, when it comes to individual plans, the same insurance company that offers a great group plan could offer a lousy individual plan. Beware.
Look for the small print when purchasing individual insurance. Look for waiting periods. You sound like you are not comfortable waiting and paying premiums for a year or two before the coverage even kicks in! Look for annual maximums. When the amount of services is exhausted for the year, you will start paying 100% out of pocket even though you are paying for insurance. Also, compare the deductibles - you can count them simply as an addition to the annual cost of the plan.
If the restrictions of conventional individual insurances are overly restrictive, you may consider simply not paying insurance and creating a dental savings account, and self insure your costs, or get a discount dental plan that will have no waiting periods, no limits on services, and no deductibles. It just all depends on how do you want to manage your finances.

Dental Braces: Before and After Braces Images
Dental braces can really help you adjust crooked teeth, fix underbite, overbite and openbite. They can fix overlapping teeth and overcrowding. Dental braces correct muscle and bone structure as well. Dental braces can provide a perfect string of pearly whites.
Go ahead and type "before and after braces" in your Google search box and you will find a series of before and after pictures of people who wore braces. The differences in visual images of the teeth before and after braces are simply stunning. But the improvement comes at a cost. Usually it takes one to three years of wearing braces until the "after" results are achieved. As you can see in the images, the improvement can well be worth the wait.
The entire process of putting on the braces, adjusting them periodically, and finally taking them off costs several thousands of dollars. There is little you can do about the time duration of your dental braces procedure.
You can, however, significantly reduce the price of braces. You can reduce the price of braces by as much as 25%-65% through discount plans for dental braces such as Dental Service For Less. In addition you can pay the reduced price in monthly installments, either through the dental office financing, or through outside financing for dental braces.
