Get free or discounted dental care? Like cleanings, check ups stuff like that?

I have a two and a half year old son who needs alot of caps and crowns on his teeth and even with dental insurance it will still cost close to 3000.00 to get his teeth fixed. The dentist my insurance company covers will not offer any payment plans, she wants all the money up front. And I can’t afford this huge amount all at once. But I need to get his teeth fixed soon.

I am currently "shopping" for dental insurance. I am very confused right now. I don’t know if a dental work discount plan, or full coverage is better. It doesn’t seem like a discount plan would cover what I need done (major stuff like tooth removal and root canal) but it seems like with a full coverage plan I would have to pay a lot, which I can’t really do.

Can anyone explain some pros and cons? What is a deductible..what does that mean? Do I have to pay it on top of a monthly payment for full coverage?

Any type of help will be appreciated! Thanks!

I had root canals a while back…the teeth turned dark and just a month ago I had temp crowns put in. Well last week I went in for the permanent crowns, and have to say I am extremely disappointed. Not only can you still see the darkness of the tooth…but they are not the same size as they were [which can be somewhat understandable] BUT he also trimmed down the other teeth to make room for them!! So two of my teeth [symmetrical teeth} are now way different shapes and it is toooooo noticable. Can they not trim crowns? Everytime I start thinking about this I get mad as hell. I just want to know if anyone else has had these procedures and how they turned out? Can I get this fixed? Can I get some kind of discount? Gaaah!

I am thinking about getting braces (preferably Invisalign) and I don’t have any insurance at all. I’ve been doing research and haven’t found anything reasonable. I am looking for a good dental or orthodontic insurance plan that will cover or give a good discount on braces and/or dental work. Any information that you can give me will be helpful. Thanks!!!

i don’t have dental insurance, I was wondering what kind of discount they would offer if i was to pay cash.??

I am going to get it this time since it will be cheaper, my question is will it still remain that I had coverage for three years (prior to being laid off and couldnt afford it since November)? I need a crown and if it goes back to waiting period of a year to get discounts on the crown then there is really no reason to get dental again, because Obama is only allowing it for 9 months, right?? Someone please help. I had insurance with my company three years prior… Anyone know the answer?

I’m trying to get braces for myself (lingual), but the insurance I have from my emplyer does not over braces. I’ve been searching for one that does. But the closest I’ve found is a discounted price (which may just be a sales pitch). So I need something that won’t leave me broke right from the start. Thanks in advance.
