There are two types of dental plans available in Florida
that are industry standard. These are Dental
Insurance and Discount
Dental Plans. These both offer savings on dental care,
however, over the past decade one of these has emerged as being
clearly better than the other. Let's take a look at the two
options available.
The Pro's And Con's Of Dental
Insurance
There was a time, actually around twenty years ago, that
dental insurance was the only type of dental plan available.
Fortunately, that's no longer the case. Some dental insurance
plans offer decent long term coverage, but they don't offer
immediate dental care coverage, because they do not cover any
condition that is pre-existing. This means that if you have a
painful tooth ache and need to see a dentist right away, buying
an insurance policy will do you no good at all because no
insurance company will cover it. You'll be forced to pay 100%
of the costs out of your own pocket.
Dental insurance does provide for the cost of most routine
dental care, such as fluoride treatments, check-ups, cleanings
and such, however, you'll still have to pay an annual
deductible.
There have been a few "cheap" dental insurance plans that
have popped up on the internet recently that cost as little as
$8-10.00 per month. I highly recommend that you look at these
very carefully before you buy one. Pay particular attention to
the "Exclusions" of the policy. These are things that are NOT
covered by the plan. I think you'll be shocked when you find
out how little coverage is actually provided by the plan.
You can buy a private policy from a local agency, however,
the costs are expensive and the coverage provided by the plans
is not adequate.
The bottom line is that this type of insurance is expensive
and doesn't provide adequate care, especially since most people
wait until they actually have a problem to see a dentist in the
first place. This type of dental plan will do these people
absolutely no good, at least in the short term.
Florida Discount Dental
Plans
These types of plans offer substantial discounts for joining
their network. You simply pay a low annual fee, after which,
you may see any dentist within their network of providers and
recieve discounts of up to 60% off the usual cost. Here's an
example.
This example is taken from the Tampa, Florida area, zip code
33615. There are 14 featured plans for this area, however, as I
enter the zip code into the plan finder, the first one being
recommended is called "Protective Dental Plan". There are 303
participating dentists that accept this plan within a 50 mile
radius of this zip code, so finding a dentist won't be a
problem at all.
In this example we'll say that you haven't been able to get
to the dentist in quite awhile, therefore, you'll need an In
Depth Check-up, Full Mouth X-rays and an Adult Teeth Cleaning.
You may need repairs also, but we're just using this as an
example.
The usual cost of an In Depth Check-Up is $67.00, the usual
cost of Full Mouth X-rays is $104.00 and the usual cost of an
Adult Tooth Cleaning is $75.00. The normal cost of having this
three things done would be $246.00. That cost only pays to find
out what problems you have. Now you get to pay out some REAL
money to get your teeth fixed.
The benefit of having a discount dental plan is that they're designed
to save you money on not just routine care, like the example
above, but on major dental care too. Let's do the example
again, assuming that you join the discount plan above before
seeing the dentist.
In this example, your cost for an In Depth Check-Up will
only cost $20.00, a savings of $47.00. Your Full Mouth X-Rays
will only cost $50.00, a savings of $54.00. Your Adult Tooth
Cleaning will only cost you $35.00, saving you $40.00.
The total cost of this example is only $105.00. That's a
total savings of $141.00! If you have a family you can multiply
that $141.00 that you saved by the number of family members
that you have and you'll see hundreds, potentially thousands of
dollars in savings.
