How Can I Save Money on Dental Bills?

Posted .

Sure, there are very important, life-altering questions we’d all rather think about instead of thinking about dental bills: 1.) Is Stranger Things coming back for another season? 2.) How does Mary Poppins fit all that stuff into her bag? and 3.) Are horses really just stripeless zebras?!?

Regardless, from time to time, we all have to find the best way to care for our teeth. After all, as the old saying goes, “Only take care of the teeth you want to keep.”

So, what do you do when you need dental care, but you aren’t sure how you want to pay for it? Or, maybe you’re just looking for ways to save money on your dental bills. Either way, dental savings plans are a good alternative.

 

WHAT ARE DENTAL SAVINGS PLANS?

Dental savings plans offer a hassle-free, cost-effective alternative to dental insurance. Much like a membership to Costco, you pay an annual fee for discounted products and services. With the dental savings plan offered through Advanced Dentistry of Blue Ash, the plan pays for itself in two preventive care visits. Plus, plan members receive discounts on fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, and other treatments.

WHO ARE GOOD CANDIDATES FOR THE DENTAL SAVINGS PLAN?

  • People who use a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) plan to manage medical expenses
  • Younger individuals who are not covered by dental insurance
  • Senior citizens not covered by dental insurance and on a fixed income
  • Anyone who wants a dental plan with manageable costs

WHY CHOOSE A DENTAL SAVINGS PLAN?

There are so many benefits to using a dental savings plan, but here are just a few.

  • No yearly maximums. Use the plan as much or as little as you like.
  • No claim forms to submit. No paperwork hassles!
  • No deductibles. Preventive dental care is all covered with the plan, so no deductibles are required.
  • No activation fees. You only pay the annual membership fee, and then you’re covered.
  • No pre-authorizations required.
  • No health restrictions and coverage is guaranteed.
