Even with dental insurance that will pay for half, it is still more than what I make in a year. I am working two jobs. Not having taken care of the problems has lead to it affecting my health.

You can apply for "Care Credit", it's like a credit card for dental, and health reasons. They also cover pets. Then you pay back monthly.

how much would a professional mouth guard made by a dentist be without insurance?
Not interested in mouth guards that are sold in stores, only interested in the custom fit ones made by the dentist. Again this is for someone without dental insurance.
--------------------
I have seen them range from $75 - $200.

I am trying to bill a incision and drainage code 7510..insurance company needs a narrative HELP !!!
--------------------
The narrative is an explanation of why the procedure was necessary. The dentist's office should be able to provide you with a narrative.

Is it unusual for a dentist to charge more than the dental insurance says is my share when they are in network?
The last two dentists I've visited ask the patients to pay the patient portion of the charges prior to doing the dental work. After I received the explanation of benefits from the insurance company, it showed that their charges were in excess of the agreed upon cost for the procedure and they had asked me to pay too much for my portion. When I pointed this out, the dentists were not very gracious in responding to my inquiries to the point where I feel uncomfortable returning to them for services unless I am willing to let them continue to charge me more than they've agreed to with the insurance company. Is this a usual occurrence? Does it happen to other people regularly and they just ignore it? Should I consider the overpayment (ranges from $10 to $35 each visit) a tip for services rendered or should I insist that the dentist stick to the cost they've contracted with the insurance company for and ask for a refund? Does this mean it's time to find another dentist?

This is NOT common practice and something that you need to bring up to your health insurance provider. You will need to go with the copy of your bill and explanation of benefits from the insurance company and speak with the office manager. If they still will not resolve the issue then you should definitely speak with your health insurance company again, let them know exactly what happened, and see if they will do something about it. If they can't, depending upon the amount you had to pay out of your pocket in excess of your copay or whatever the insurance company would not cover, then you can either forget about it or speak with the board of dentistry for your state.

I need my wisdom teeth out, but have no dental insurance..ideas?
I'm 25 and my wisdom teeth are finally coming in, my back one feels like it's cutting my cheek constantly, and it's pushing against my molar, making it ache. I have health insurance (with a SUPER high deductable) but no dental insurance. I'm in debt up to my eyeballs from a major surgery last year, and just don't know what to do. Any ideas??
--------------------
Look around for free health clinics or free health care programs. I didn't have dental insurance either and I did that and had them removed and only paid 30 dollars for xrays and I heard the cost is about $1000 for all four! Also the dentists are willing to work out a payment option if you do not have insurance.

Would you go to a top college's dental school if you didn't have dental insurance?
I don't currently have dental insurance, but I just basically need to have my yearly teeth cleaning and make sure I don't have any cavaties. I am 28 and just had my first cavity (in my wisdom tooth though which they want to just remove, I wouldn't let them) so I have really good teeth. It's the University of Michigan dental school, would you trust them if they were just going to be doing basic stuff like cleaning, checking for cavaties, maybe (but probably not) a simple filling at the most? I am a little nervous but I cannot really afford the $500 per filling from my regular super upscale dentist. He's the best but his prices are crazy and with no insurance 2 fillings could be very pricey!

Oh yeah. I've been going to New York University for all my dental work for years because of major money issues. I have serious dental problems and have been told I have the teeth of someone twice my age (I'm 31). I've had all sorts of procedures done at NYU including root canals. The only thing about dental schools is that the procedures take longer. Not only do they work slower but they constantly need the supervisor/instructor (a 'real' dentist) who is there to come over, check the work and give pointers. The students know what they are doing but the work still needs to be checked. It can get annoying because there may be 50 students on the floor and only a handful of supervisors. You could end up sitting there for 20 minutes, staring at the wall, waiting for the supervisor to get a chance to look at you. The students have to do a lot of paperwork. Nothing can be done without a signature from a supervisor. Basically, something that would have taken about 45 minutes at my old dentist could take up to 2 hours at NYU. More complex procedures may require multiple appointments. Oh, and you really HAVE to be on time for your appointment. Even showing up 10 minutes late can be a problem. They run on a particular schedule there and appointments can only be made for certain 2 hour time slots. Seems like it's one patient per time slot even if it's a quick procedure. Your student dentist will lose their chair to another student if you're not on time and there will be no where to sit. Sometimes, it can be weeks before you can get another appointment. At least that's how it works at NYU.
