I recently renewed the Aetna Dental Access plan that I purchased through DentalPlans.com for my daughter. She is a 27-year old office manager whose employer doesn't offer dental insurance or discount plans. This plan has truly been a blessing to us because it helped her get her dental health back, and it gave me peace of mind that I'm doing my best as a loving father. When she was growing up, Jackie had always taken care of her teeth, brushing regularly and getting checkups every six months, but when she turned 23 my employer sponsored health insurance no longer covered her on the policy.

After moving out of our home, Jackie neglected her dental care due to lack of funds and no insurance. She told me that she was in a lot of pain and I started researching dental plans. Her dentist had told her that she needed over $3,500 worth of treatments, including root canals and crowns. The comparison charts on your website were easy to use and the Aetna Dental Access Plan even had her current dentist on the list. The plan has saved her a lot of money, and I am sure it has paid for itself ten fold. I would highly recommend DentalPlans.com to concerned parents everywhere and to anyone who would like to save money on dental procedures.

Since my employer doesn't offer dental or vision insurance coverage, I started shopping online for the best deals. I visited various insurance sites, only to find out that they wouldn't cover the root canal I needed. In one instance, there was a 12-month waiting period for a root canal! The premiums were ridiculous, and often the contracts were hard to understand.

My dentist outlined a treatment plan that exceeded $5,000; none of the insurance plans I found would cover that much in a year and I would have to put most of my treatment off until 2009. If I met my deductible and paid the premiums and tried to wait until next year, then the insurance plan would pay their part. Even then, I had a hard time finding an insurance that would cover the veneer I needed for a broken tooth. They called it a "cosmetic" treatment, and it wasn't covered under most plans. I needed help reducing costs, and I needed it fast. I searched for discount dental plans instead and ran across a listing for DentalPlans.com, a site that sells many different plans. The site also lays them out for you to compare and shop logically.

I purchased a 12-month discount dental plan from Aetna called Vital Savings. It combines discounts for dental treatment and vision service. I didn't know there was such a thing.

I also got a free three months added on as a special. So far, I have spent $2,200 out of my own pocket and saved $1,800. I get the treatment I need when I need it, without waiting periods, deductibles, or confusing contracts. I can use the discount as often as I want, with no limit. This discount plan has made my seemingly impossible $5,000 treatment plan quite doable, without having to gamble on insurance or put it on a credit card. I plan to get the final treatment, the veneer, as a Christmas present to myself. After the first of the year, I will get an eye exam and a new pair of glasses with my discount. I couldn't be happier with my decision and I highly recommend this website.

I haven't had dental insurance for several years and I have put off getting even minor procedures done because of the high cost of dental care. Even preventative care, like cleanings, were just too expensive to have done on a regular basis.

Two years ago, I broke a tooth eating popcorn. I used all sorts of over-the-counter remedies to relieve the pain and even tried to use a dental cement kit to fix it myself. It only got worse and as a result, I ended up with not only a broken tooth, but TMJ (from changing how I ate so as not to aggravate the broken tooth) and needing a root canal.

The pain in my jaw was excruciating and sent me to the emergency room, where I was told to see my dentist immediately. I promised I would, but explained to one of the nurses that I had no dental insurance. She suggested I go online, she had heard of dental discount plans that were inexpensive and would probably be just what I needed.

I immediately looked up discount dental plans online and found DentalPlans.com as well as several others. I read everything I could find and kept going back to DentalPlans.com. The rates and programs were affordable and better yet, my dentist was a participating dentist in the Aetna plans. I didn't want to get my hopes up, so I waited until the morning and called my dentist's office. Much to my surprise, they accepted it.

I had been putting off getting this tooth fixed for two years because, without insurance, a root canal and crown would have cost me about $3,000. I was trying to wait until next year after getting my tax refund back so I could afford it.

Instead of the $3,000 I was expecting to pay, with the plan I chose, my cost was a little more than $1,600. I called my dentist's office and scheduled an appointment. The offending tooth is now halfway fixed, and the rest of my dental problems will be fixed very soon. I can't imagine having to wait another four months to even begin having this work done!

Thank you DentalPlans.com! Without you, I would still be waiting.

My sister claims she has the best dentist in the world. After listening to my sister go on and on about her dentist, I had my wife research him and find out all she could. She found out that he's very highly recommended and getting appointments with him are difficult because he has such a huge practice. She also found out that he honors the Aetna Dental Discount Plan. So my wife secretly took out the Aetna plan and booked an appointment for me to get my teeth cleaned.

I've now had two appointments with him and I am thrilled. I'm so glad I have the Aetna Dental Discount Plan because that and a caring dentist is the best team when it comes to my health!

I am so thankful that I found your plan! Not having dental insurance, we were spending so much money on dental care. So quite honestly, we were not going as often as we should which is not the example and habit I want to set for my children. I knew there had to be a better way.

I searched the internet and found your plans. It almost sounded too good to be true, so I called my dentist office, who participated in the plan and asked their opinion. I was surprised how positive they were about the program! They confirmed that it was a really good program that would almost pay for itself in savings in one visit.

My husband just went for his appointment and came home so happily surprised at the amount we save with the program. His comment was, "We should be going to the dentist much more regularly!" Especially with all the news about how dental health is connected to our physical health and even heart problems, I couldn't agree more.

It may seem like a little thing, but I really am so thankful that I found your plan. The peace of mind, with one less thing to worry about and a big step toward health and wellness for my whole family, is huge! Thank you for giving that gift!

With a bad economy and rising costs, it has become harder and harder for people to keep up with the care of their teeth. Unfortunately, dental care is often one of the first things to be neglected when money is tight. That is why I was so excited to find out about the Aetna Dental Access Plan. I am self-employed and it is difficult to get any type of medical insurance, much less dental coverage. My dentist’s office coordinator recommended Aetna Dental Access. I thought the cost of the plan was very reasonable and that the coverage was good. As soon as I was covered under the plan I need major dental work. I needed a root canal and crown on one tooth and immediately following that procedure I needed another crown on a tooth on the opposite side. I was so pleased that there was no wait required before I would be able to get major dental work done, and liked the idea that I did not have to fill out a complicated claim form. I also like the fact that so many good dentists and endodontists accept this plan. Because I had the discount dental plan, I saved several hundred dollars and I can not say enough good things about this plan.

I am on target to save over $800 this year with my discount dental plan. I am forever grateful to DentalPlans.com and my dentist. Upon taking x-rays of my teeth, he worked up a chart of costs for repairs needed and his assistant made a price comparison chart, pointing out the savings I'd receive if enrolled in the DentalPlans.com program. Through no inquisition of my own, she proceeded to give me the contact information for DentalPlans.com.

The addition of a vision and prescription plan, at no added cost, was a great surprise. While both my son and I already have glasses and a 50% prescription plan through my health insurance, the additional discounts we’ll receive on our next pair of glasses and on our prescriptions are welcome.

The customer service at DentalPlans.com was exceptional as well; walking me through every step of online application. I am extremely pleased.

I’m retired and I live on a limited income. I needed dental work and I didn’t know if I would be able to save my teeth because of the expense of dental care. I went online to my favorite dentist’s website to see what insurance or discount plans he would accept. To my surprise, I was about to save about half the cost of my crowns through my discount dental plan – and the best part was that I didn’t have to wait to start using my plan. Thank you for making this available to people like me who no longer get dental insurance through employers

I am so thankful that my dentist's office recommended DentalPlans.com to me – especially since I had to have a root canal. My plan saved me a large amount of money for the root canal and I’ve saved on every visit since I joined for about four years now. Thank you, DentalPlans.com!

I’m 63 years old and I have health insurance, but no dental insurance! After years of avoiding the dentist, my neighbor told me about the dental discount plan she had gotten at DentalPlans.com. I reviewed the plan, investigated it on the Internet and realized that the majority of dentists in my area belonged to at least one discount plan.

I joined a 15-month plan for about $100, then went to the dentist and only paid 50% of what I would have paid without the plan. After my appointment I came home and added my husband to the plant for just $45. I saved enough money on my first appointment to pay for my annual membership fee. I can’t tell you what a relief it is to know that my husband and I can now afford to go to the dentist!

I’m thankful I found out about my Dental Discount Plan and wish there were an easy way to “spread the word.” I’ll certainly do my part!
