Discount Dental Plans vs. Dental Insurance... What are the differences?

Discount dental plans are quickly becoming an alternative to more costly dental insurance. These plans are specifically designed to provide significant savings for members’ dental care needs thereby making them an attractive option to traditional dental insurance.

Traditional dental insurance, where you choose any dentist and not one in the specified provider network, has many drawbacks including high deductibles, complicated claim forms, exclusions for pre-existing conditions, long waiting periods and many other limitations. In comparing the two, discount dental plans are more affordable, easier to use and free of the many hassles attributed to traditional dental insurance.
