Does anyone need Dental or Medical Discounts to avoid paying full price on needed procedures?

Many people don't have insurance b/c they either got laid off and can't afford insurance on their own and also those same ppl may not be poor enough to qualify for financial assistance!
--------------------
as you said, it depends if the person can afford to pay for the medical insurance, then yes it is. i have mine. not only to avoid paying the full amount, but it helps reduce the payment esp. if you are having an operation.

question about health insurance!?

ok, so I currently have a full time job and get health and dental insurance from them. every pay check i get taken out 76 for health and 14 for dental every pay check. but i am looking for another job as a nanny. the family does not provide insurance so i have to buy it on my own.

I got kicked off of welfare and the my dentist told me to get my dental work on his credit plan?

I made too much money so i lost my goverment cheese which included dental coverage. So I ask my dentist about getting my own dental insurance and he tries to sell me a credit line for my dental work. Im not sure what to do. The intrest rate sucks unless you do an 18 month credit plan and I cant affford those payments . Im looking at about $150 a month if I do that. Ive never bought dental insurance before so Im clueless . Wouldn't getting insurance be better? How can I find a good insurance?
--------------------
Those dental credit lines are a rip off as you can see. Think hard and long about them before you sign. Your problem is that if you have been on welfare you probably have no credit history. If I were you I would either buy my own policy or look into a clinic that is run by the dental school in my area.

Estimate needed for dental work, California (apx. amount)?

I just had a lot of dental work done and am wondering if I paid too much. Was wondering what the work should have cost, then I will let you know what I paid. This is without dental insurance or a dental plan. First, an oral surgeon put me to sleep and pulled 7 teeth, all on the bottom, 2 wisdom teeth, 4 molars, 1 regular tooth, put bone graft in the socket holes. A general dentist did root canals on 3 upper teeth, none of which were molars, then put 11 crowns on all upper teeth. 6 of the crowns are Captek which is a high quality gold crown with porcelain on the outside, these 6 are on the front teeth. The other 5 crowns are regular metal crowns with porcelain on the outside, 3 which are molars, 2 regular teeth. I'm supposed to go back and have a partial denture made for the lower arch, for both the left and right side, but if I feel I am being overcharged, I may go somewhere else.
--------------------
I got to be honest. I can't even imagine what you paid. I know I had a crown replaced, some gum work around that crown, Invisalign, and then a new permanent crown. And that ran me in the thousands. I know my dad, who never took good care of his teeth, had them basically all yanked out and had dentures put in, he had a dentist friend do it for him and it was about $5000. If you're dealing with an oral surgeon, yanking teeth, wisdom teeth, bone graft, and 11 crowns. I'm guessing the crowns alone are about $7000. All told, and this is a wild guess, maybe at least $25,000. Unless you got a real good deal. I'm curious what you did pay. Let us know.

How much does a dental filling cost?

i have a small cavity that is sort of causing some discomfort, sadly i don't have any insurance. i know many factors play in the cost, one being how large the filling is and if i want a white filling or not. i do have every intention of getting a white filling. Also, i live in Maryland if that helps. Thanks for the help in advance.

Programs to help assist in paying childrens dental bills.... father is active duty USMC?

My husband is in the military and we have United Concordia Dental coverage. Unfortunately, this plan doesn't cover much because we've have to pay over $7000 for both children's dental work according to our dentists estimate. Our children really need this dental work done, but we can not afford to pay that out of pocket. Is there any government agency that helps with dental bills? Or is there some other program that I can combine with our dental insurance so we don't pay so much out of pocket? Any help is appreciated!
--------------------
I would suggest you go to your local dental schools. You might have to wait a few weeks, but they will get you in. Plus it's free! Best of luck!
