How much would this dental procedure cost without insurance?

I am missing 2 teeth (the one on either side of my front teeth). I've always been missing them. I never had permanent teeth. Right now, I have a retainer that my old dentsit made for me with 2 plastic teeth on them, and I wear it pretty much 24/7 so no one knows I am missing teeth. I've had the retainer for 5 years. However, recently my retainer has been poking and rubbing and I have all these sores and little cuts in my mouth from it. I don't currently have dental insurance, but I am just so sick and tired of these cuts, and the retainer, and having to take care of it, and I think the plastic teeth are starting to wear away. How much would bridges likely cost without insurance, and do many dentists offer payment plans? Or is there a less expensive procedure?
--------------------
Most offer payment plans. Call and ask if they can make a free estimate for a replacement. If they can, make an appointment. They may charge something for the exam, because they might need x-rays to determine the health of the teeth. But they should be able to tell you how much that would run up front. Don't wait. You might have a gum disease contributing to the problem with the "cuts." ~

I live in PHX. AZ. and I need to find a dental insurance which I can use right away to fix my teeth.?

Here is the deal, I went to a dentist today to have my teeth fixed. I need about 6 crowns done and they are gonna cost about $4,000 and I don't have Dental insurance right now. Is there a Dental insurance or coverage out there that will enable me to use it right away after signing with them without waiting and how much would it cost each month and based on the example above, with this Dental Insurance how much would my total cost be for fixing my teeth. Again I live in the PHX. AZ. area. We have no free dental coverage here like in New York. Let me know the details. thanks

Hope this helps and good luck.

cost of dental cleaning and check-up with insurance? Is this dentist scamming me?

I have dental insurance that pays 80% of cleaning and prevention. I went to a different dentist to try a new dentist, and all this person did was take x-rays clean my teeth (very crappily) and the dentist checked my mouth as usual. well when i left the dentist that day i paid $130 upfront. well they keep sending me notices saying i still owe then $40 dollars! So I will have paid them $170 in the end.. does this sound about right? I think this dentist is a scam."

Why did I get a Dental Bill when I have insurance?

I have dental insurance from United Health Care, that pays 70% of everything- but since when does CLEANING and checkup cost? My bill is $146.00!!! That's ridiculous. I shouldn't be paying anything. Unless you have cavities or are getting surgery, Dental Insurance covers cleaning, right? On top of this, I work at a famous museum- and gave my dentist & hygienist each 6 vouchers to go to the place- a $350 value! They both showed up with their friends and of course, I escorted them around and made it great for them. Now I'm getting billed! If anything, the dentist should have said "You know, he did get us those vouchers. Let me cut the bill down." Thoughts?
--------------------
The insurance is a contract between you and the company. The dentist has nothing to say about what they pay. He just submits his charges and whatever they do not pay or cover, you are responsible for. If they pay 70% of everything, that includes exams, x-rays, and cleanings. They do not state that they pay 100% of those. And the dentist doesn't do them for free. So if you have a complaint call the insurance company and complain.

I need secondary or supplemental Dental insurance?

Does anyone know of any good ones??
--------------------
I'd be surprised if you could find a dental insurance policy that would work for you. Odds are, it would be more expensive to pay the premiums than it would be just to pay for the balance after your primary dental insurance out of pocket.

My friend Stphani has no heath or dental insurance and has to get 4 wisdom teeth removed?

She woke up in pain the other day with her mouth bleeding and had to go to a dentist and pay outright for the appointment and the x-rays. She has in infection behind one another one has a cyst behind it and the third is growing in sideways and crowding her bottom teeth. She called Medicare and Medicaid none will cover her because she isn't pregnant, doesn't have kids, isn't a child, and isn't disabled. This needs to be an immediate surgery and the pain keeps getting worse for her every day. We live in southern Florida she said she called a couple dental colleges, none will deal with wisdom teeth. Can someone please help me help my friend... with options, places to go, insurance companies that will cover her that aren't too expensive. I would appreciate any and all input. Thank you Briana

Is it possible to get my health/dental insurance back again once I go back to being a full time student?

I'm dropping out of two classes so I will only be a part time college student and will lose my medical/dental insurance that I had when I was a full time student. Also my parents were paying for it. Once I go back to becoming a full time student next semester, can I get it back again?

Yes. Up to the age of 25 I believe.

Is it illegal for Sears to keep me off their dental insurance in Ohio?

Hi, I'm a dependent/full-time student living at home in Ohio. I am 25 years old, and my mother works at Sears. According to Ohio law, until the age of 28, I should be on all of her health insurance, including dental. However, Sears claims they have not gotten the plans ready to include people on the insurance. - Is this legal? Aren't they required to cover me by state law? - If this is illegal, what do I do about it? - If this is legal, how long until they have to include me on the insurance? In case anyone's wondering, here is the law: Ohio Rev. Code § 1751.14, as amended by 2009 OH H 1 allows an unmarried, dependent child that is an Ohio resident or a full-time student to remain on parent's insurance up to age 28, or without regard to age if they are incapable of self-sustaining employment due to disability.

how much would it cost to have a dental abscess treated without insurance?

i fear i have a dental abscess. ive been suffering thru an infection and tho the pains more manageable thanks to the penicillin VK ive been taken, i feel its advanced.. i now have swelling and tenderness, and ive been suffering from loss of appetite and having difficulty keeping foods down. (pepto has become a godsend) all my symptoms point to a dental abscess in my upper jaw. including the slight swelling of the lymph node and difficulty swalowing, something i never had problem doing im making an emergency appointment don't get me wrong, but the MAIN problem is that i have NO dental insurance. so how much would abscess treatment cost? can i get it treated while put to sleep? if so how much would the anesthesia cost? i have a VERY low threshold for pain. (it takes usually 3xs the Novocaine to get a filling taken care of)

What to look when I am trying to get medical and dental insurance?

In the last couple of months I've been trying to get medical and dental insurance. I don't have much problem with my health but my wife gets medicine and needs some dental work. In my country everything works different when talking about insurance, I've been into a couple of websites, doing some researches but I still have some doubts about what exactly to look and get. I want an affordable and good insurance so I can help my wife with her medicines and stuff, when she gets pregnant and in the future just in case of emergency.

does braces covered by dental insurance or medical insurance?

i might need braces and i was wondering if it's going to be covered by insurance or maybe pay half? i have local 25 (union) insurance.
--------------------
It is covered under your dental insurance, if your plan has that type of coverage. Call your dental insurance company and ask them, because every policy is different. You probably will have a deductible, then a percentage that you have to pay, and sometimes insurance only covers up to a maximum (like 1000 or 2000 dollars) you really just have to call and ask.

Questions about dental work, cost with insurance.?

I realize this is a very general question and without more details it would be hard to say, but I am looking for some estimates on how much it would cost to fix my teeth. I have not been to a dentist in years. I had a tooth crack, and had a root canal done. The tooth has since broken off completely and is missing. I have 2 seriously chipped teeth and a few others slightly chipped. I do not have dental insurance yet, but my provider through my job would be Blue Cross and Blue Shield. I am looking for how much it would cost Me out of my pocket to fix my teeth once I am insured. Any help whatsoever would be appreciated.
--------------------
You can look up the average cost of all sorts of dental procedures - including the root canal and chipped tooth at http://www.smarthealthbuyer.com. They have average prices, as well as reviews of dentists. All the prices are for out-of pocket prices. Dental costs vary widely by geography, so best to put in your Zip code and use the dental cost calculator in your area. The root canal will probably cost $500, depending on the tooth, and you will probably need a crown as well for the broken tooth - say $800 depending on the materials used - porcelain, gold etc.

I can't seem to find out how to get dental insurance without needing medical also.?

I have a health insurance plan with work but can' t seem to get the dental coverage as there aren't others willing to take it. I need to get some. How in the midwest can I get seperate dental insurance? NOT dental plans that pay a part of it but aren't insurance as I need the insurance. Those often have a waiting time and only pay a small part the first year of it. I have soft enamel teeth and need ongoing or repeat dentist visits to keep the teeth later on. I did an online search and they want a ton of info to send a quote just or they don't offer an actual insurance coverage. IF anyone has a great coverage that is nationwide please let me know. I have a dire need for this.
--------------------
I have a dental plan thats covers everyone in my house for one price. I have found it to be useful, it saves me and my family alot of money. I was able to find a dentist in my home town that will accept this plan and the denist that I take my children to is only about 20 minutes away so it work out well for me 1-877-483-1830 REF# 227810 that is the number that you can call

Gradeschooler's broken tooth and dental insurance?

My stepdaughter has dental insurance through her mother at the moment. Her mom is in the air force (I don't know if that makes a difference). She was playing on the playground with her friends and fell and broke her front tooth in half. She went to the dentist today to have it repaired. I talked to her later this morning and she said she didn't get it fixed because the insurance wouldn't pay. Now she is going to have to wait until January to get her tooth fixed. This is unacceptable to me. Why should a ten year old have to be embarrassed and walk around with a broken tooth!? I am sure it is also uncomfortable and painful when she eats. Does anyone know why the insurance would deny this?
--------------------
Well, if she cant get it fixed now why is she going to be able to get it fixed in Jan.? That is the real question, is the insurance going to cover it then? This may be a waiting peroid, or maybe she has already met the yearly max amount of coverage.

Dental Insurance?

Does anybody know an inexpensive yet good dental insurance in Northern CA? I am on a tight budget. The cheapest one I saw is Deltacare for $97/year but I don't know if it's any good. Help please. Thanks!
--------------------
The problem with getting dental insurance on your own rather than as part of a group is that you're going to pay through the nose (or should I say, pay through the mouth!). I've been selling dental coverage for over seven years now and in my unbiased opinion, most private dental insurance policies are not worth the money they charge If you are intent on getting traditional dental insurance, I would strongly suggest you call up a reputable insurance agent and ask them for their help in finding you good dental insurance. However, you might consider the option of joining a "discount dental plan" which can cost as little as $7 or $8 per month. These are not actual insurance plans but rather like shopper's clubs (i.e. Costco, Sam's Club, etc.) where members receive substantial discounts (on average 33%) on all dental work providing they go to a dentist that accepts that plan. If all else fails, contact the California Dental Health Society and see if they can give you any advice. They are in the phonebook.

In the national guard and have a problem with my dental insurance?

I am in the national guard and am enrolled with tri-carte united concoria dental insurance. I enrolled about 2 months ago and paid my initial monthly payment. Problem is that it has been 2 months and I am yet to get a bill in the mail. I understand that there is a 12 month obligation when having this dental insurance. What are the possibilities of missing a monthly payment? Am I permenently shut out from this insurance, or can I pay the back payment and continue my coverage? Also, does tri care concordia often mail out bills for there monthly payment, or do they only do paperless? Thank you
