What are dental options for the uninsured?
I make pretty good money, but my company doesn't have dental insurance and I don't really want to drop $1000 for a crown. Are there any options for those who don't have dental insurance but don't qualify for medicaid or other low-income places?

Find a dentist who will allow you to pay monthly installments after he does the work-most dentists have these kinds of plans. If you pay promptly then they will continue to allow you to pay this way for future work.

move to Arkansas, you'll fit right in. lol but seriously, dental insurance doesn't cover much. look around; it's okay to compare prices. i paid 500 for a porcelain crown.

I live near Buffalo New york and The university of Buffalo has a dental school. The school runs a dental clinic that provide low cost treatment to patients. The service is provided by dental students near graduation to provide the patient low cost care and
the student needed experience working on patients. I don't know where you live but you might want to see if there are any dental schools with similar services

If your in a large city, some health depts will do it on a sliding scale. I also used to work for Sears and their dental offices only charge $500 for crowns, last I checked.

You wouldn't want medicaid anyway, they don't pay for good crowns.

A friend found this answer: Go to the local medical school and there should be a dental school. The dental school has major reduced charges and some services are free.

Have you gone to a dentist and told them you have NO insurance. Would they please discount your services, e.g., per hour rather than a measured filling, etc.


CDM
yeah go try them out


Robster01
I am not 100% sure it is true, but I hear that dental schools offer deep discounts in order to provide teeth for students to learn on. The drawbacks to that option, of course, is that you might end up with a soon to be dropout drilling your tooth to pieces. The question in all branches of doctor training is, "what do you call a doctor who graduates last in his class?....You call him DOCTOR!" Good luck.

some of the dental offices offer a ins. for 25 dollars and it gets your work done for half off........i got veneers......they were 900.00 for aech one.....i got 4.....and then got half off.

hi.thanks for posting an interesting question. i had the same "problem". the advice is -- find a good dentist that is a must. second find an honest dentist, that is no. two. third find a dentist that will give you different options to fix your teeth/or tooth. not all dentist solve the same problem in the same fashion. there are other options "at times" than a root canal etc. discuss and ask those issues. last but not least go to the internet and learn as much as you can on the tooth problem you have then --put the issues to your dentist...and wish yourself good luck...and pray....it helps.

Posey, I feel your pain (financial-wise, that is).

Why not go to the link below! You can have access to quality dental care at a substantial discount for less than $20 a month. And choose from over 30,000 dentists nationwide.

Good luck!

You could get an enamel crown instead of a gold/silver crown. I had a canine broken in half a few years ago and we couldn't afford a metal crown so we went for the enamel, it only cost us a few hundred.

Although they'd prefer you pay upfront, most dentists allow you to make monthly payments (no interest). Talk to the office assistant and find out if this is possible. You don't want to hold off getting a crown when you need one; the costs could become even greater if something more serious happens.

Try ur local clinic or dental school. Also, sometimes dentists will give u a discount if u pay in full and don't have insurance.

I have a dental plan that allows me to save in most cases 50% to 80% on my dental care. The best savings comes with the preventative care such as cleanings, x-rays, fillings, however you can even save 50% on root canals and crowns. I would rather pay half than full price. You can look up more information at:

YES, u can find a dental school in your town. They are pretty cheap.

You can look for a dental school in your area as they do procedures as learning tools just like teaching hospitals or check with the local health department as they have clinics that offer free or reduced charge dental procedures also. Good luck.

No matter what insurance you may have, dental work isn't gonna be covered entirely. If you need to have anything done at the dentist, they set up an account for you, so you can make monthly payments. My friend does that since her insurance isn't the best. If you have been going to the same dentist for months or years, they can make you an account, and you can pay on it however you'd like. Just ask them about it and they should be able to set you up. Good luck!

No options that I know of. I know I have $7000.00 worth of work that needs done in my mouth with crowns and partials. I was even eligible for welfare at one point but it didn't help with dental or medical for me, just my son.


All4Christ
im in the same boat. my job offers dental but its way to expensive. so i go do my dental work at a near by office and i pay them in payments. directly to the office. find a dental office and ask if you can pay in payments. i dont think thy would have a problem with that.

Dental schools! There are some separate ones, and some attached to colleges/universities. The dentists are students, but they are supervised, and it is much cheaper.

Try the dental school at your local university. They often offer free or sliding-scale dental services.

I really have a problem with the way our government is handling the medical problems of it's citizens. I don't have dental coverage either, and believe me after having to shell out seven hundred dollars for two teeth to be removed plus anesthesia I was mortified. You at least have a job. I don't because I'm on disability (no prescription cov either). What are people like us supposed to do? I guess we have two choices. Let your teeth decay, and fall out or go to a private dentist, and pay up the nose. In your case because you are employed, and make a good salary you should be able to pay on a payment plan with your dentist because they do have them. Why not try to find out if they have a dental college in your area? If they do I would take a chance depending on the severity of your problem. I think it would be less expensive than a private dentist.
