I signed up for this plan almost a year ago. I have had extensive dental work including crowns, posts, x-rays, cleanings, periodontal work, and much more. To my delight, I have saved over $1,500 because I joined the Aetna Dental Access plan. I highly recommend this program to everyone. In this day and age, we ALL want to save money.

I was in need of having a bad wisdom tooth pulled out. I couldn't get insurance through my employer until January 2009, so I looked for an alternative. I found DentalPlans.com and researched it. I found DentalPlans.com, compared most of the plans and picked the Signature Wellness plan. I also found a dentist who was close to home - with almost no effort. Having my tooth pulled would have easily cost double without this discount dental plan.

I'm extremely pleased with DentalPlans.com and the new dentist that I found. You guys are incredible. Thanks!

My best friend happened to call the night before my dental appointment while I was in the middle of my major health plan brochure trying to find out how much it was going to cost me to have a crown replaced. I was already in a lot of pain.

As I was relating my dismay to my friend, she asked me if I ever heard about DentalPlans.com which she signed up for a year ago. She said she saved a lot on every visit to the dentist, and said the dentist she recommended to me accepted the plan she was on.

I immediately went online and signed up just in time to get approved for the discount dental plan under Vital Savings by Aetna. The very first visit I saved over $300, which more than paid for the cost of the annual plan.

I am thrilled with the dentist she recommended (just 3 miles from my house). He's the best dentist I've ever been to and has the most courteous staff. His office environment is quiet, peaceful, and he has a feather touch, so I almost feel nothing when he is treating me. I highly recommend DentalPlans.com to friends and even strangers while waiting in checkout lines. I couldn't be happier and my smile looks better than ever for more reasons than one.

It was my first visit to a dentist in 20 years. My daughters had looked online for me after I’d shown them the two gaping holes on the backside of two of my front teeth. We chose a plan and signed up immediately. After joining, we chose our dentist and made an appointment.

The first visit to the dentist was as rewarding as each of the following ones. I had crown work, fillings, a cleaning and fluoride treatment. My dentist kept me informed as to the work he was doing and walked me through each session. His superb dental skills and knowledge are truly enhanced by his communication skills. That communication skill is also evident in his office staff and in his assistants. Overall, the office is professional and truly caring.

There is also the itemized listing for the approximate cost of each procedure. This allowed me to see in advance the overall view of work needed and an estimate of the costs. The comparison between the discounted price and the out-of-pocket price without the plan made me glad that I had signed up for a discount dental plan. My dentist spaced out the appointments so payments were also extended. I paid as I went!

Would I recommend my dentist and my plan to my friends and relatives? I ALREADY HAVE!

My husband is 14 years older than me, so when he retired, my sons and I had to scramble to find health insurance and dental coverage which we had to give up from my husband's employer.

I found Dental Plans.com on the computer and called the toll-free customer service # for help as well. After much research online and over the telephone, I signed up with a family plan. The provider was in Ft. Wayne, IN. We made several trips to this office for routine check ups, cleaning, and x-rays.

My youngest son had his wisdom teeth removed in this office. There were no stitches, so we were finished in one trip. We were very satisfied with our discount dental plan and with this dental office; however, the distance from our home was over an hour drive.

When we renewed our plan, I learned of a provider who was closer to our home. We made the change simply because of the distance, not because we weren't pleased with the first provider. Our dentist’s office is a 1/2 hour drive from our home. It's a smaller practice with only one dentist and one hygienist, but we like the practice just as much.

My husband and I just had appointments this month for routine care. My younger son had a filling done in this practice which was caught early enough that no Novocain was necessary.

I would recommend both of these dentists and their practices to anyone who is considering DentalPlans.com. Our experience has been a good one. We have also found a good way to save some money on the cost of dental procedures for our family of four.

I would like to tell you about the best dentist and staff I have ever experienced. I signed up for a discount dental plan with DentalPlans.com after leaving my job of 15 years. I was very pleased to be able to find a dentist that was available through the plan.

He is located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which happens to be my neighborhood as well! How convenient to be able to just walk a few blocks and get home quickly after the visit.

I explained to the office's excellent assistant that I had had several bad experiences with dentists before. Like many people, I had a "thing" about getting treatment. She quickly assured me that the doctor was very empathetic to nervous patients, and that they would do everything they could to make the experience a comfortable one.

The first step was to meet with the dental hygienist for a cleaning and x-rays. She turned out to be one of the sweetest and most patient people I have ever met! What is usually not a very nice experience was made almost enjoyable due to her beautiful smile and excellent sense of humor.

It was then time to meet the doctor for the check up and the "bad news". I was escorted to the exam room and made cozy for the check up. The dentist came in and very soon made me feel at ease and in good hands. He is very gentle and soft spoken; just what you want when going through what can be a traumatic time.

We discussed the problems with my teeth and set up a treatment plan. I have since had several visits with the doctor and staff. Despite the condition of my teeth due to my own neglect, I have not had one bad experience.

I am so happy to have found this dentist and his staff through DentalPlans.com. The office is convenient. I never had a problem getting an appointment in a timely fashion, and most important of all, the doctor and staff are wonderful. I would highly recommend them to anyone, especially to patients like myself who have a bit of a phobia when it comes to dentists.

Thank you for letting me share my experience with their office and my satisfaction with my discount dental plan from DentalPlans.com.

I joined the Avia Dental Plan after my wife retired and we were without dental coverage. I could not believe the price for the plan and the savings I received. It was so easy to join and find a dentist close to our home. I have had several appointments and the care I have received is great. The cost of the treatments is just as quoted in my plan.

This is by far better than the plan I was on before. The cost is dramatically less. I would recommend this plan to anyone. You can’t afford not to have dental care at these prices.

I have a 12-year-old daughter that was going to need braces. I was regretting getting a quote because of the horror stories I had heard about the costs nowadays for braces. Sure enough, the first two quotes I got were double the price I was expecting.

I called the DentalPlans.com customer service phone number, 888-632-5353, to see if they knew anyone in my area that honored discount dental plans for braces. There were two orthodontists in my city that gave discounts for braces. I called right away and was very happy to learn I was going to save over $2000.00 on my child's braces. It is definitely worth the yearly fees to be a member of DentalPlans.com.

We are very happy with the Aetna Dental Access plan. My husband had an abscessed tooth and I took him to the dentist. They x-rayed his tooth and told him he would have to go see an oral surgeon for emergency surgery. When we arrived at the oral surgeon, we had to wait for a little while, but when they called him in they took another x-ray outside of his mouth since he was in a lot of pain.

His face was very swollen, and the dentist told us with as much swelling as he had, he was not certain if the Novocain would work or not. He also told him he would have to cut along the gum line to get oxygen to the area as with all the swelling since it was not getting any oxygen.

We were very concerned because he was in so much pain. The dentist gave him the Novocain shot. The dentist left the room for a few minutes and came back in to check to see if the Novocain was taking effect. Thankfully it seemed to be working.

The dentist then told my husband he was going to try to pull the tooth; the tooth was completely broken off, so there was not much of the tooth showing. There was nothing for the dentist to grab on to. My husband said he thought it would be a very painful recovery since he was so bad before the surgery. He was expecting the worst.

Once the dentist started to work on his tooth, he said he was grabbing on to the arm of the chair. He said he felt a little pressure and the dentist stepped back. My husband told me he was getting ready for the next round. The dentist told him it was out.

My husband told me the dentist was very good and was the best dentist he had been to. He will go back when and if he needs more work on his teeth. As far as the cost goes, it was very reasonable and way less than I expected it to be. We are extremely satisfied with the dentists and oral surgeons that are on the plan.

Thank you.

My experience with the discount dental plan has been a good one. I purchased this plan when I had a baby because the pregnancy was hard on my teeth and I needed some dental work.

I just called the 800 number that I got off the Internet. They had a plan called Aetna Dental Access. It was very easy to locate my dentist online. I would recommend this discount dental plan to anyone in my area.

My dentist was listed under this plan. All I did was call my dentist to verify that he was a participant. The office had a chart from Aetna that listed all of the discounts on services such as cleanings, exams, crowns, root canals, etc. They had to go by this chart whenever someone used this discount dental plan.

In the month of March, I had a root canal and crown done. They gave me a quote and stuck to it. I am pleased with the discounts this plan provides. When my dental office gave me the quote, it stayed the same until my procedure was done. The procedure took two dental visits.

The savings you would have with this discount dental plan are as follows:

* A crown without the plan - $700

* A crown with the plan - $450

To purchase dental insurance costs more money due to premiums, co-pays, 80/20, etc. I have already started to help others in my area to use this discount dental plan, especially if they need a lot of dental work.
