Even if you already have dental insurance, the discounts offered by our discount dental plans may be used along with your dental insurance for even more savings on your dental care.

No, members cannot use two plans in the same office at the same time. The savings offered by two discount plans cannot be coordinated. Consumers are able to purchase more than one discount plan from DentalPlans.com to use at separate offices. For example: If your orthodontist participates in the Aetna Dental Access Program and your general dentist participates in the UNI-CARE 200 Discount Dental Plan, the consumer can purchase both plans to use at the appropriate office.

You must be at least 18 years or older to purchase a discount dental plan. However, there are no age maximums.

We currently only accept payment in full for annual plan membership fees. DentalPlans.com hopes to bring the consumer a quality product at the lowest cost possible. Accepting payments on a monthly basis increases the cost of processing, thus making the plans more expensive.
