Frequently Asked Questions
What are dental discount programs?
Discount programs are designed for individuals and their families to save money on their dental care. Programs have participating network providers that have agreed to pre-negotiated rates for dental, vision, hearing, prescriptions, and chiropractic care. Discount Memberships do not have the same restrictions as dental insurance and discount programs have automatic acceptance. Participants in the plan will simply show their membership card at a participating provider and receive their discount at the visit. No surprises!
How does it work?
Members pay an annual or monthly fee and receive a membership card. Members simply show their membership card to a participating network provider at the time of service and receive significant discounts on services.
What is the difference between dental discount plans and insurance?
Dental Discount Plans are an easy-to-use alternative to dental insurance for individuals, families, and groups. They are sometimes referred to as dental savings plans. With a dental discount plan, you can save from 15%-50% on all dental procedures immediately from thousands of network board certified participating general dentists and also dental specialists nationwide. It’s very Simple! Simply show your membership ID card at a participating provider and receive your savings instantly.
Can I use a dental discount plan if I have insurance?
Yes. In some cases individuals and their family exhaust their dental insurance benefits, have waiting periods, and exclusions. Dental Savings plans can help individuals and their families save on dental care when placed in those types of situations. Additionally, dental savings plans include savings on cosmetic dental procedures and in most cases cosmetic procedures are not included in dental insurance plans.
How many times can I use my membership card?
United Dental Solutions is dedicated to saving you as much money as possible on your dental care. You can use your plan as often as you need to. There are no limits to how may times you can save. We want to help you pay less and smile more.
What if I have existing dental needs?
If you have existing dental needs, you will be able to use the plans. Many members have joined at a time when they were experiencing dental complications and wanted to save on their dental care.
Can I switch plans?
Yes. You can switch plans at anytime.
Do I have to use a network provider?
Yes, and you can change providers at anytime. Our plans have a large network of providers. It is possible that your existing provider could be listed as a participating provider.
How soon can I use my plan?
Members are allowed to use their plan shortly after joining. Unlike Insurance you will not have a waiting period. After joining, members will receive an email which will contain their membership information.
How much will I save?
Savings range from 15% to 50%. On average some members save around 45% on their dental care. Typically the savings received during one trip to the dentist pays for the plan itself.
Is there plan price matching at United Dental Solutions?
