What are Dental Plans?Dental plans are not insurance but rather are memberships that gain you dental savings for a large variety of dental work. You save money on the cost of the dental work - but compared to dental insurance - you save on the cost of joining a dental plan versus buying dental insurance. When you join a quality dental plan you are joining a network that includes dentists who perform various dental procedures for discounted rates ranging from 10 to 60 percent off regular dental work prices. Dental Plans vs. Dental Insurancethe best dental plans include the following that are not something you get when you get dental insurance:
- Speedy membership activation - dental plans are generally approved within 3 days. Once approved you can start enjoying your dental discounts immediately.
- Other discounted services such as vision, hearing, and prescription drugs*.
- No spending caps - you enjoy the discounts on as much work as you need performed.
- No paperwork that you need to handle at any stage of the dental work procedures. You simply present your dental plan membership card and enjoy your discounts.
- You won't have any atypical delays in getting dental work peformed. It's business as usual.

- You can be excluded from coverage for any pre-existing conditions - and to fight this can be long and expensive.
- Your premiums are typically much higher than dental plan memberships.
