How does dental insurance work?

I need to get my front teeth fixed by probably root canal/replacements. If I get dental insurance, like $150 per year plan, does the contract say something like I have to pay for 5 years minimum? Can I immediately stop my insurance plan once getting my teeth fixed?
--------------------
I think the waiting time is usually a 6 month period, but it depends on the plan. If it is through your work, usually the waiting periods are shorter than longer. I am pretty sure that you do not have to continue to stay on it...again, depends on the plan. Another thing to look at is how much the plan will actually pay for... Take care.

How do I obtain health & dental insurance while living & working in the UK?

I'm a US citizen. It's always been my dream to live and work abroad. I just found out that my military health benefits & dental insurance won't extend beyond the common wealth's/territories of the US. I can comfortably afford to pay for health & dental insurance out of my pocket. Does anyone in the UK deal with international health & dental insurance? I really could use some help in finding the right company. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
--------------------
you cold just buy health insurance when you get over to the UK, plenty of companies offer this. If your living and working here, and paying taxes you may be eleigible for treatment on the NHS. This is free, and dental NHS is subsidised, an NHS dentist check up costs around £16....i think that is around $30. I checked on line and found this; It focuses more on marraige but if you read it it does actually say Americans Living in the UK... Free NHS medical care is not routinely offered to tourists who need emergency treatment while they are away from home. That is what their private medical insurance is there for, which will cover them in an emergency situation. Without private medical insurance, tourists must pay upfront costs to be seen by British doctors. However, American expatriates who are living in the UK are eligible for NHS medical care, as long as they can prove that they are eligible. American expatriates who are married to UK citizens can prove eligibility very quickly and be registered in next to no time. How to Register Once you have a permanent address, take along proof of your address, such as a recent utility bill, to your local doctor's surgery. It is also a good idea to take a copy of your marriage certificate in case the doctor or nurse wishes to learn more of your eligibility for free NHS medical care. If you have access to your American medical records, take these along with you, so that they can be filed away for future reference. At the time you register with a GP (usually the same GP as your spouse's unless you make a special request otherwise) you will be able to apply for an NHS medical card, that all NHS patients are issued to prove NHS eligibility. This card does not need to be hand carried to each doctor's appointment; nor do patients need to remember their NHS medical card number. New patients must fill in personal information and complete a medical questionnaire that will ask about a family history of heart disease, cancer and other diseases and hereditary conditions. Be prepared to undergo a brief, non-invasive medical to include a blood pressure check, weight check and other simple procedures. Otherwise Bupa and AXA PPP offer healthcare cover. AXA is the best one though!

How much does it COST to get a cavity fixed without dental insurance?

I have a cavity that has been hurting and I am going to get it fixed. I have insurance with AETNA as part of my dad's HMO plan but I don't think it covers dental. How much is the estimate cost to get this cavity fixed---with cost of x-rays, etc.? And, if you live in the San Marcos California area, where would be the best dental office to go in the San Marcos California area?
--------------------
Cost vary from dentist to dentist. If you live near a dental school a lot of time you can get your dental work done there at a reduced rate. I think your parents should make you an appointment to see the dentist and make arrangements for payments with the dentist. Have you spoken with your parents about it yet? If you are still in school talk with your school nurse and she might be able to help with you with where you might get some assistance.
