What is a Dental Savings Plan?
09
For more information, contact us at 833-742-5097 or [email protected]
What is a Dental Savings Plan?Dental savings plans offer an affordable alternative to traditional insurance. Members pay a single, annual fee and gain access to a network of dentists who have agreed to offer reduced fees to plan members. Since the rates are pre-determined, members always know what the cost of any treatment will be. Typical savings are 10-60% off the dentist’s customary fees.
How Does it Work?1. Pick the Perfect PlanConsumers can use the online marketplace at dentalplans.com to search for a plan that best meets their dental needs or they can contact a member of our :DP AtYourService® Team by phone.
2. Gain Access to our Dentist NetworkDentist within the plan networks have agreed to provide deep discounts (10-60%) on most dental procedures and members may visit any of the dentists on their plan.
3. Smile & SavePlans are activated within 72 hours from time of purchase and can be used immediately upon activation, even for more extensive procedures. There is no waiting period or annual spending limit, so members can visit the dentist as often as they like. Some plans offer additional savings on prescriptions, vision, and hearing care as well.
Dental Savings Plans vs Insurance

Dental Savings Plans vs Insurance
Unlike insurance, with Dental Savings Plans there are no reimbursement claims to file, no annual caps, nor is there a waiting period for the more expensive services. You can even save on cosmetic (whitening and implants) and orthodontic (braces) procedures that may not typically be covered by dental insurance, depending on the plan you choose.
Dental insurance pays a portion of the costs associated with dental services. Purchasers of dental insurance pay a monthly rate, called a premium, for their coverage.
Many insurance plans have a yearly benefit cap, typically $1,000 to $1,500 per year. As soon as the insurer has paid that amount, you pay for any additional care and procedures that you may need.
Both dental savings plans and dental insurance can help you to save money and stay healthy.
