I am currently out of work with no dental insurance. I am seeking other options for my dental care since I have been feeling a bit of sensitivity in two of my molars. These molars have fillings already and I was told I may need a crown. I looked into dental plans, but I am not sure if they are reputable plans to "buy". Also, is it worth it? Plans I have looked at are dental plans by Aetna, Delta Dental, etc. If I need a crown for example, it says I will pay a copay of 400 and above depending on treatments. My question is, is a dental plan something I should be looking into or are there other options

so my school offers an option to student to get dental insurance from Aetna
we have two choices:
1- Aetna Advantage Dental (HMO) for 1 dollars for spring semester only
2-Aetna Dental PPO 5 for spring semester only

What’s the difference between both? Which is better? Which covers more? Which one would you choose and why?

I live in Queens NY and I have no dental insurance. My mother works but she doesn’t make a good amount and my father is unemployed. She has medical insurance, Aetna, but it doesn’t cover dental and I need to have 1 stupid root canal done and it will cost 2000 w/o insurance. Anybody, I need help. I am also a student in college, so any help, I really need it.

I just graduated college and my insurance ran out. I am taking a job that starts in September and will give me full health coverage 1 month after I start. I am a young and fairly healthy female, although I do have IBS and some other problems, mostly relating to the digestive system, reproductive system, and my skin. I eat a balanced diet and try to exercise regularly. I have only needed to visit the emergency room 3 times in my entire life.

When responding, please give me an informed answer, not just yes or no. Please also explain your reasoning.

Also, other than Aetna or Cobra, is there any other short-term insurance I can purchase?

Doctor’s answers especially welcome.

Thank you!

I live in St Louis Missouri and I have Health insurance coverage from Aetna, but I don’t have any dental plan. What is the best dental plan?

I checked with aetna and cingna but you have to also purchase health insurance to get dental.

I have dental insurance but they only cover up to 1000.00 worth of treatment yearly. I am very close to maxing out and I have a lot of dental work left to do and my insurance does not roll over until next October. So I the question is… Are these dental savings plans through Aetna, Cigna..etc… worth the money? I would like to find one where I don’t have to pay up front and be refunded later… Any suggestions?

Have Guardian through work, but have numerous probs with them.We are retired Military, is Delta good? The snag is we have 18 and 19 yo sons who needs to be on our coverage who are not full time students. Just want some help with where to find a good plan. Also, spouse has Aetna coverage for the family, same guidelines, is there a way we can use one plan as the primary and one as secondary so that more of the costs are covered??
Thanks!!

I am trying to decide whether to sign up for Aetna’s PPO or their DMO plan. More specifically, I want to know which plan is better for orthodontics (braces). Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

What’s a good dental plan, not associated with Aetna, or Blue cross or any of those? I’m gonna get a separate dental plan because those programs pay very little of the costs. Maybe "Delta Dental?"

I am so dissatisfied with the dentists on the Aetna DMO network in Northern Virginia. I have been to so many and each one tells me a different story about my teeth and what needs to be done. I know I have 2 cavities that need to be taken care of asap. I also know that I would need a crown for each of them. The dentists so far have said I need to do ‘6 root canals’, and another dentist says that I have ‘half a dozen cavities but no root canals. Today the same dentist tells me I have only 3 cavities and nothing else. Two crowns became 3 crowns within the span of 2 weeks etc…
Either these dentists can’t read the xrays or they want to rip off the patients. I was told my gums are sensitive and I would need to treat them first before my cavities.
I have no bleeding, no pain or any such symptoms that would show sensitive gums. I feel so misled.
I want to know how much it would cost for me to buy individual dental insurance. Also if you know a dentist who is genuine, pls let me know tx

I just finished 90 days at Walgreen’s & doing my benefits, they said I have to wait A YEAR to be employed for dental coverage. (my medical is already done & I have a card) Is this legal because this is BULLSH*T!!!
I have worked for Aetna, Pitney Bowes, & now Walgreen’s. And I have had to wait only 90 days. This is the first time It has to be a YEAR!

I am scheduling a dental appointment for the first week of my winter break. I am not sure if I need to have a dental insurance card along with my Aetna card or not. Can you help me?
I actually already called them once and they referred me to Delta Dental, and then Delta Dental referred me to Connect One.
I talked to Connect One and they said I did not have a valid ID number.

Hmm!

I'm looking to acquire more dental insurance that will work with Aetna dental. This is to help reduce cost. I know people have used their dental and their spouse's together. I'm not married so i need to buy a plan. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I already looked on google and found a few affordable dental plans for myself…Is there anyone who is currently enrolled? How are the prices? Any recommendations on where i should enroll, or insurance plans i should stay away from? I was interested in Aetna dental plan. Is there anyone whose enrolled with them?

I am considering a plan that is 0/year, the Aetna Dental Access plan. However, my savings account could cover Oral surgery for wisdom tooth extractions, cleanings, exams, and an occasional cavity (this is work that I will need). Would I be better off to just pay for these with my savings? I know oral surgery will be like 00 but the plan will only get me like 10-30% discount.
