Can I use two different dental insurances?
922617
It depends.  Are they HMO or PPO?  If both PPO or one PPO and one HMO, yes you can use them both.  If both HMO however, it doesn't do you a bit of good.\nI have 3 insurances on my daughter for dental.  Her dad has a PPO for her which covers most of it, and my HMO pays a bit more of what the PPO didn't.  My 3rd insurance was free, but also an HMO so it doesn't pay anything else.\nIf your cost for the insurance or very low (under $10 a month) for having the second insurance, you will probably save some money.\nSee what each covers, what they each pay for say a filling, and you can see what you would save.\nAlso consider if you really NEED 2 insurances.  I only did it because I am covering orthodontics on my daughter which would have cost $800 after the PPO paid it's share, but now only costing $100 with the second coverage and I only pay $120 a year (or about $240 for the 2 years she will have braces) so I'm still saving about $450.00 total.

it's either care credit or dental fee plan.

depends where you live, each state has their own individual plan providers.  Mine is through EDS, but I'm in Arizona.\n\nMaybe you could email them and ask if they know of a similar plan in your area.  http://www.mydentalplan.net/contentL2.asp?vID=21

Go to the dentist and look at all your option before you make a choice. Because there are your regular dentures then you also have the ones that screw in. Go with what works for you. Trust me you don't want to regret the choice you make. Make sure you know what your looking at and talk to more then one dentist. It is a big choice and not every dentist is the same!\nPersonal Learning Experence

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

You need to call your insurance company because it does vary from policy to policy.

You will have to use your medical savings account to pay for the uncovered dental expenses.  Workman's compensation will not cover gross negligence on the employees part.

This treatment is considered - cosmetic service so it's not covered by any insurance.  You can get financed by a plan that works with your dental office.  Ask them if they use one and you can pay the finance company in monthly payments.

Try typing the same question you just asked into your browser or see if there is a website on your insurance card. Most cards have them and the sites usually provide a list of providers for the area you live in just by typing your zip or city in. If this doesn't help call your local pharmacy for this information. This worked when I had to help my mother-in-law find a dentist. Good luck!

Some Dental plans are really good. Delta Dental, Met Life, Guardian. When we first started out in business we signed up with quite a few. Over the years we have not had to sign up with any new ones. The low quality plans have dissappeared. We are still members of others that we just hold on to because we like particular patients. Other wise we don't accept new pateiens from the lower paying plans. In general you get what you pay for. PPO plans seem to work because Dentist are compensated for each service at some predentermined rate. Dentist can give you your options expensive and cheap, pretty or less pretty, and he gets paid for the exam. Everybody is happy. If you decide to go with the less expensive treatment that's your decision. Less expensive options require less time and material and the dentist gets paid. More expensive options require more hand skills and integrity and the dentist charges accordingly.\n\nStay away from HMOs and discount cards. If you buy one of these discount cards the dentist staff has to do all this work to figure out your rate, I refuse to see people who have discount cards because I just can't figure out what part of the tooth I should discount. ha.\n\nHMOs; Don't get an HMO if possible. The way HMOs work is the dentist gets a FAT check every month for say 300 patients on a list. You have to see these patients for basic services for free. (sounds good eh?) But most of the time the dentist gets to thinking, why should I bust my butt and HMO patients all day when I can put them off for a few weeks and see the Cash and PPO patients. So right off the bat you become a second class patient. Then lets say your plan covers basic fillings for free, but not crowns and white fillings. Suddenly, you are at a car dealership. OH sorry Mr. Shmo you need a crown and that tooth. By the way you need a deep cleaning and those wisdome teeth should come out. Get the picture? HMO's suck because you can't figure out if you really need a service or are getting served.\n\nI wish you luck. Remember cash works well too. you'll get a bigger discount than those discount cards.\nOtherwise PPO's are the way to go.\n\np.s.  blue cross pays as much as your employer is willing to pay.  so, in general they are very low paying to the dentist.

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.

They both have wisdom teeth extraction coverage but it depends on what plan you are on. Both insurance companies have hundreds of dental plans...all differing from the other. In my experience Metlife seems to have the better coverage but I would check with your specific plan to see what they offer.

Dental work costs a fortune - dental insurance barely pays for anything, so if you have the means and the motives, I'd say go for it. I am sure that there are plenty of good mexican doctors who cater to americans who want cheaper healthcare. I'd ask around for specific dentists who would be worth seeing.

700 for the root canal and around 350 for the crown.  I have had several and this seems to be my average out of pocket expense with 60% coverage.  It sucks but it's better than the toothless option.  Even people with dentures have to have alot of care so take care of what you have for as long as you can whatever the cost.  Once you catch up with the other teeth you will be happy.  I know I am.  Nothing worse than a real painful toothache or the smell of a rotten tooth.  Get er done.

There's a company out there that helps people who do not have and need affordable dental benefits. It includes all basic things and then surgery, crowns, even orthodontics. There's no high premiums, deductibles, co-pays, waiting periods, or anything like that at all. They can save you up to 80% on your out of pocket expenses for a very small fee every month. It could end up saving you a lot of $$ over traditional insurance. Try this website and you can check out the specifics and providers in your area. http://www.everyonebenefits.com/40424269... They are wonderful. I have benefits through them as well. Hope you find what you need. Please email me if you have any questions, and I'd be happy to help you if I can. Best of luck.

That's going to be a very hard find.  On the average payment is due at the time of service.  You will have to call around to the dentist in your town to see if they will work with you on a payment plan.
