How To Find Affordable Dentures

Are you trying to find affordable dentures? Well, good luck. You can pretty much expect to spend $1,000.00 or more easily. There is a way that you can avoid this, however, surprisingly most people have never heard of it. Have you ever heard of dental discount plans? A dental discount plan is exactly what it sounds like, a discount plan. By joining one of these plans you can save anywhere from 10 to 60% off of standard dental procedures. Let me give you an example of how this works.

Let's say that you need new dentures immediately, but you simply can't afford to pay full price. Well, with a dental discount plan you won't have to. The following example is based on a plan that was taken from the Englewood, Colorado area. Plans in your area may offer either greater or or lower savings.

The cost for an individual dental discount plan is only $99.95 for an entire year. The cost for a dental discount plan for an entire family is only $149.95 per year. The usual cost for a full upper denture in this area is $1252.00. By having the discount plan your cost would only be $694, for a savings of $558. Let's take the higher cost for the plan and say that you are going to have your entire family benefit. In this case, we would deduct $149.95 from the $558 that was saved. Your final savings would be $408.05. If you do not have a family, and only needed individual care, then the deduction would be $99.95 from the $558 that was saved for a total savings of $458.05.

The savings shown above does not even include other benefits such as discounted cleanings, x-rays, sealants, crowns, root canals and a much, much more. Once again, these figures are for the Englewood Colorado area and may be greater or lower in the area in which you live. Dental costs tend to be a bit higher in rural areas than they do and competitive city markets. This is one of the best ways that I know of to find affordable dentures.
