I need a dental insurance that pays 50 to 75 of all dental care including oral surgen. My boyfriend needs a lot of work done on his teeth. He is scared of death of the denist, he has to be put to sleep and he has to have all the work done at one time. Can anyone help me please.

Kenny asked:


I have a small chip in one of my teeth that needs to be filled, but I do not have dental insurance. Is there anyway that I can sign up for just dental insurance, get my tooth fixed and then cancel the policy.

Chad asked:


I need to do teeth surgey which could cost about 4k, but my company dental insurance will only pay 40%, in order to reduce my own cost, can I buy extra insurance to cover the 60% cost, or at least reduct my own cost? If yes, any good ones out there?
Thanks.
I am wondering if I have two insurances, then can I file the same surgery claim to both insurance company?

I can’t get dental insurance and I was wondering how much it cost’s to pay for it yourself. I need some work done to my teeth and I would figure that it will be expensive. If I just buy it and then go and get like 3000 dollars in work done will it cover the cost’s?

abh816 asked:


My teeth are too crooked and crowded to start with invisalign, but I’m 18 years old and I don’t want metal braces for three years. Could I get traditional braces now and in about a year or so move to invisalign?

thecalifornialife asked:


My frontal incisor and cuspid in front of my lateral incisor. This means one of my teeth are pushed behind the others. What kind of options do I have with braces? How long does something this drastic take to fix?

Someone asked:


Whats the difference? Why don’t they just get the regualr front braces? Braces don’t look bad and lingual braces makes you talk funny and proabably harder to brush and maintain and your tounge would hurt more since its always trouching the braces?

Whats the diffrence?
lingual braces are fitted behind your teeth instead of front.

peanut asked:


I get my braces off in november and about a month ago I got an expander on my top teeth. I don’t think it’s a pallate expander because it doesn’t make a gap and i wear it with my braces. I can take it out and stuff, but do you think that I will have to wear my braces longer since I just got an expander? Thank you!
