Basic health insurance will cover you for pre-existing conditions, as long as you haven't had treatment in at least 6 months for these conditions. Since you don't tell us what pre-existing conditions you have, this may or may not be an option for you.\n\nUnfortunately, as far as I can tell, Nevada does not have a high risk insurance pool for you to consider as an alternative. However, you could contact the Nevada Division of Insurance for some ideas. They provide help to consumers through their SHIP program. \nVolunteer Counselors will help you figure out your health insurance needs and provide unbiased information to assist you in making decisions about health and long-term care insurances. \n\nYou can find the Nevada Division of Insurance at: http://doi.state.nv.us/

First, it's clear that you have no idea what you are talking about. Second, if it hurts, TELL THE DENTIST. \nLastly, as #2 stated, I'm sure they were more than happy to let you go as a patient. As a matter of fact, I can guarantee that you're on their DO NOT REAPPOINT list.

Delta and almost all insurance companies have millions and millions of different plans.  Just because one Delta covers ortho does not mean your will.  The best thing to do is look on your insurance card to find the phone number.   Call them and ask the following questions:\n1.  Do you cover braces for adults?\n2.  If yes - at what percentage?\n3.  What is the deductible?\n4. Is there a maximum amount you will pay?\n5. DO you pay monthly or quarterly, or lump sum?\n6. Does the dental office need to file claims at every appointment, or only the first appointment?\n7.  Will i get a discount if i go to a dentist on your list of providers?\n\nThat will help you know how much they are Really going to pay.  Just because they say they cover braces doesn't mean they will pay 100%.  Be careful.  Also ask them if they will cover the Pre-ortho x-rays and impressions, and the retains after the ortho.

Always get a second opinion. They are out to make money. I saw a dentist and he said I had 5 cavaties!!! I went to another and had only one small cavity. They will rip you off!!! Also, who in the heck needs a $100 toothbrush? Go buy a sonic care one at Target or Wal-Mart. They are the best. Take action and let them know that you are going elsewhere.

If you can do some research or calling around to different dental offices or go on the American Dental Associaton, you may find a Dentist that has just completed his training in implant surgery,and  has his Certification in Dental implants, and he may want to use you as his first case, and charge you mabye a minimum fee,Just call a office, they maby not do it, but may know a dentist that is in implant training and pass the word on with your name and number, asle you may be able to post it on a dental website,(or the American Dental Associaton )in your state, I believe they are like 1000 per tooth, they can do 2 implants and ancor your denture into your gums,(back tooth area on both sides)

You might want to check dental/assistance schools....some offer excellent discounts for dentist who are training or must preform a certain amount of such surgeries to become certified..my daughter is a hygienist and when her dentist began dental implants they offers 60-70% discount...so I imagine somewhere would offer gum graph surgery discount..good luck.

You will not generally find good dental insurance for individuals.  The thing is, insurance companies are in BUSINESS and they want to make a PROFIT.  They know exactly how much any given group is going to spend for their dental needs, so they construct a fee schedule for that group and decide how much premium that they will need to charge to pay out those fees for that group and still make money.  Dental insurance can be a big loser for the insurance companies, because EVERYONE has dental problems.  Not everyone has a heart attack.\n\nBesides, any individual who is looking for dental insurance is most likely planning on USING it to the maximum.  There is no way for the insurance companies to recoup their expenses from this type of policy.

Honestly, if you're in a financial crisis, buying a dental plan is hard to do.\n\nI bought my health insurance on www.ehealthinsurance.com.  They are the easiest site I've found to compare benefits of companies at certain premium price levels.  I did it for Washington State.  I believe they have other states.\n\nIf you're hoping to use the insurance to save you health care costs, the answer is probably no.  A $500 deductible plan is very expensive.  If you're trying to prevent a worst-case catastrophic event, then there are a number of inexpensive plans available.\n\nWhen you analyze if you are going to get insurance, consider the reason.  If it's to save on health care costs short term, frequently, by the time you pay for the premiums and deductibles, it would have been cheaper to simply out of pocket the expense.\n\nEmail me with any questions.  Good luck,\n\nJared

how about going to your dentist and asking them what would be a good one to do, they should have plenty of ideas as they will now about all aspects.

Contact your local dental college.  I did and it worked out great.  I saved about 33% of what a "regular" dentist would charge.

Im 24 yrs old..I am having  impressions made for my partial plate... then when it comes in in 7-10 days I am having 6 top teeth pulled.. with Delta that is only costing me like 400.00\nDelta covers 80% of all dental work done.. also has some free yearly checkups..\nIt covers 50% of false teeth cost \nI TOO AM SCARED TO DEATH AND THOUGHT ABOUT BEING PUT TO SLEEP TO HAVE IT ALL DONE..ITS HARD.. BUT SOME TIMES YOU JUST have to suck it up and be an adult.. I have decided its much better to have pretty teeth and you will love the way you feel and look afterwords\nGood luck man!

TINKERBEL,\nYOU ARE DEFINITELY NOT ALONE. MANY FOLKS HAVE NO DENTAL INSURANCE OR MEDICAL.\nIF YOU CAN LOOK FOR A DENTAL SCHOOL TO DO THE WORK OR A DENTAL CLINIC THE RATES ARE MORE REASONABLE THAN PRIVATE PRACTICE DENTISTS.\nTALK TO INDIVIDUAL DENTAL OFFICES AND SEE IF A PAYMENT ARRANGEMENT CAN BE MADE WITH THEM?

In some areas, you can reach them now by dialing 2-1-1 for "non-emergency information."\n\nGo to a dental school, if there is one near you, for reduced costs.\n\nIf you are a senior citizen, call your local Area Agency on Aging or Office on Aging.

Not all states have D.D.S. programs.\n\nIf worse comes to worse, check out http://www.prosper.com and see if you can find a funding source.
