Just a few months ago, I came across your website and was really impressed with the coverage and low cost of the various dental discount plans you offered. The variety of carriers gave me the confidence that I could choose the best dental plan available. And so I joined.

My medical plan premiums eat me alive! And it's been tough to find the extra money to pay so much out of pocket on my dental work after paying for medical plan premiums and medical costs. In fact, I've put off one tooth to the point that it has deteriorated down to the gum. I now feel I can get that, and other, dental matters taken care of without breaking the bank.

Thank you, DentalPlans.com!

My name is Regina Mick and I am 28 years old. I am an Army veteran and a college student. I was unable to get dental coverage from Veterans Affairs and I have a part-time job that offers no medical or dental coverage. About a year ago, I had a bad toothache and couldn't afford to go to the dentist. It was going to cost $800 to $1000 to get my wisdom tooth removed and about $250 for a first time visit. I found DentalPlans.com and signed up. I went to the dentist and found out the reason I was in so much pain was because I had an infection in my tooth. I had to take antibiotics for a week before they could remove the tooth. Thank God DentalPlans.com also has a plan to cover prescriptions. It cost me $15 for the medications and a total of $350 for all my visits, including x-rays, and the wisdom tooth removal. I could not have gotten a deal like that anywhere else, I tried. Dentalplans.com saved me so much money and saved my life. I could not imagine what would have happened if I didn't get that infection in my tooth taken care of. Thank you DentalPlans.com!

Your discount dental plan saved me $420.50. I had been without dental insurance for a very long time – so long that my temporary filling had been in my mouth for 8 years. I was forced to get dental care after I developed a crack in my tooth and a piece of the tooth next to my temporary filling fell out. Without my discount dental plan, I would have paid $150 for my initial visit and x-rays. Instead, I paid just $60. Without my dental plan, I would have paid $287.50 to have my tooth extracted. Instead, I paid just $56.

Thank you for all you have saved me so far. I know that with this plan I can once again have a happy smile.

While my husband was in active duty in the military, our dental insurance had no annual premium and no co-pays for basic services.

However, when my husband retired, that changed. The insurance premium was $1,200 per year to cover our family. This premium covered 100% of basic services, but only 60% of other services.

We simply could not justify the cost of the annual premium and considered not carrying any dental insurance at all and just paying out of pocket each time we went to the dentist.

This was not a good option for our family. As my husband and I get older, our dental care needs may require more than an annual check-up and cleaning every six months.

This dilemma is what prompted me to look up dental care discounts on the Internet. That is where I found your website. I learned the difference between dental insurance and dental plans, and realized that it did not matter which we had, as long as there was an agreement to provide services at a set price that was not cost-prohibitive.

I liked your website because you offered so many different plans, many of them from well-known, established companies. Since we were willing to switch from our current dental provider, I was able to pick whichever plan had the best fees and was accepted by dentists in our area.

I chose the Solstice Plus Plan One dental plan because it provided discounts on check-ups, x-rays, and cleanings.

There were quite a few dental providers in our area to choose from. I chose the one who was friendliest to me over the phone even though I had to wait for an available appointment. It is the best dental practice I have ever done business with.

Switching providers is really easy too! My husband had gone to a different dental provider that was near his place of employment. When he switched employers, that provider’s location was no longer convenient for him. All we had to do was find another provider that accepted the Starmark plan on the DentalPlans.com website and contact that provider for an appointment.

In retrospect, I have been very, very satisfied with the Solstice Plus Plan One, with our local dental provider, and ultimately with DentalPlans.com. I took a risk by choosing the plan with the lowest fees, but they have been wonderful to deal with and my family has not had any problems receiving the dental care we need, when we need it.

We have literally saved thousands of dollars by using DentalPlans.com. If we had chosen my husband’s retired military dental insurance plan, we would have paid $2,400 in premiums over the last two years. With DentalPlans.com, over the same two-year period, we have paid roughly $400 for the combined cost of our annual membership dues and fees for services rendered.

My husband and I have always had health insurance, but dental was never included. When I found DentalPlans.com a few years ago, I was thrilled. We joined right away and got the Patriot Plan since my dentist was listed as a plan provider. There are several different plans and so many dentists to choose from. If I ever have to switch dentists, I will have no problem finding a new one in my area with my current plan.

We have saved a lot of money since we joined. My husband and I both had to have a few root canals and crowns. Crowns are very expensive, but I pay about half price using my discount dental plan. I’ve saved hundreds of dollars on each crown and we also save quite a bit on x-rays, cleanings and fillings.

Thank you so much, DentalPlans.com. I would recommend you to anyone who doesn't have dental benefits on their health plan.

I'm a 32-year-old mother of three, from Hollywood, FL, and it seems like moms are always the last to "being taken care of." I heard about DentalPlans.com from my dentist when I had to have a tooth pulled. After my Dentist viewed all of my x-rays, he referred me to DentalPlans.com. I enrolled in the Careington Care Plan. Instead of paying $263, with the Careington Care Plan, I only paid less than $50 for the extraction. With the savings from this plan, I will definitely be visiting the dentist more often. Thank you Dental Plans.com for healthier teeth, a brighter smile, and savings that everyone can enjoy!

My wife and I lost all dental coverage when I turned 65. We were left paying full price at the dentist until my wife went online and found DentalPlans.com. Luckily there was a dental office near us that accepted the Avia plan . Between the both of us, we have saved over $2,000 compared to the local dental office we had been using. Our new dentist has a nice, friendly office and he does wonderful work.

Last year, I took two of my sons for a dental check-up and cleaning. The first one came out and the assistant told me he had great teeth and that the charge was $307. I said, “Wow, it’s a good thing he has GOOD teeth!” I then told her I would have to bring the other son in after I saved more money, since I have 6 kids. I immediately came home and searched on the Internet for a way to save money on my family’s dental care. I found the Aetna plan and paid $159.95 for the family plan. The next week, I brought my other son in and he had the same check-up and cleaning. However, this time the bill was $116 - WOW what a savings! I saved enough money on one child’s checkup and cleaning to pay for the whole family plan. Now that's savings!

Thanks DentalPlans.com!

I am a 26 year old graduate student and clerk.

I was diagnosed with Lyme disease and Rheumatoid Arthritis in September, 2007. Over the past year, the medications used to treat my illness decayed my teeth. I do not have dental insurance since I am a student and I only work part-time.

My molar broke unexpectedly in September, 2008. I ran to an emergency dentist and found out I needed three root canals! I didn't know where to turn to since I did not have insurance. I found your site online and ordered Aetna Dental Access. Since then, I have had the three root canals I needed and I’m in the process of getting my crowns fixed. Your plan has saved me around $2,000 so far! I just wanted to thank you for helping people like me get dental work done. You have saved my teeth - literally!

My husband and I are retired and decided to purchase the Aetna Dental Access Plan in December, 2007. We have been extremely pleased with the price reductions on the porcelain crowns, periodontal maintenance and surgical extractions that we both needed. The money we have saved on these procedures has more than justified the cost of our discount dental plan. With the high cost of dental insurance and deductibles, I would recommend the Aetna Dental Access Plan to anyone - no deductibles and an unbelievably low yearly membership fee!
