i need to get a root canal soon, i need dental insurance..please help!?

i just went to the dentist today, doctor says i need root canal, it is going to be $500 for that and $550 for the crown that i also have to have, plus some other expenses (i have some cavities) i don't have insurance, but i just found this website (also heard about it on TV) www.dentalplans.com there are a bunch of different plans and it says that its a yearly fee of like $104, and there are different plans and different prices. I just want to know if it is legitimate. Has anyone done this before? The insurance that my husbands job offers is way too expensive, so we aren't going with them. Also this website says its effective immediately or in a day or 2. Please let me know. My dad is giving me $1500 for the dental work, and there is a lot of work to be done. i also have to get all 4 wisdom teeth removed and thats $200 each. From what i've seen this website looks like it saves you a lot of money. i don't want to make a mistake by signing up though, please help!

the plans that are listed on that site are not dental insurance; they are discount plans. Aetena is a reputable company; and offers all forms of health and dental insurance. I'm not certain about all of the others. The important thing with dentists is that a lot do not accept discount plans. First check with your dentist to see if they accept any. It's fairly uncommon that dentists do take the discount plans.

  1. Yes, DentalPlans.com is a reputable company that can save you significantly at the dentist. They have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and you can read about them on Facebook. In addition to saving 10-60% on the procedures you need, there is no waiting period like you mentioned. It's a great alternative to insurance. . I work for them and they have over 30 plans to choose from. If you find one you like, use discount code Social10 to get an extra 10% off. Hope this helps and good luck!
