The Facts on Discount Dental Plans

May 5, 2016 By Delta Dental of Virginia

When it comes to dental care, you have choices.  Many employers offer dental insurance to their employees. If you don’t have group dental insurance through an employer, you have the option to purchase individual insurance on your own. Or you can choose a dental discount plan.

Here’s what you need to know about discount plans:

These plans are not insurance.

• Think of it more as buying a membership into a club where you get discounts for care.
• Patients pay the dentist when the service is performed and receive a “suggested discount.”
• You may think you’re getting a great discount, but perhaps not.

We know that people are more likely to go to the dentist if they have dental insurance. So, consider your options to take care of your smile! To explore our dental insurance options, check out our individual and family plans.
