A dental discount plan like DentalSave isn’t health insurance. It’s a completely different approach to making dental care in South Dakota affordable.
More and more people are discovering that discount plans offer a better deal. Keep reading to learn more about what DentalSave offers South Dakota residents.
Consider the costs of dental insurance: You pay a premium every month. You pay a co-pay for many services. And you pay for any care that runs over your annual benefits cap (usually just $1,000-2,000 dollars).
Smart consumers in South Dakota are starting to see that dental insurance isn’t always a great deal. If you don’t go to the dentist often, you can pay more for premiums than you get back in care. If you need extensive dental services, you can quickly surpass your benefits cap, paying the rest out of pocket.
DentalSave works on a different model. First, we find South Dakota dentists interested in participating. We negotiate the best possible rates—usually 20-50 percent off—that we can pass on to our members.
Next, members sign up for the plan and pay an annual or monthly membership fee. Starting at just $99 for a one-year individual membership, it’s cheaper than typical insurance premiums.
Finally, members pay discounted fees every time they go to the dentist. They pay only for the care they need with zero benefits cap.
Once you become a DentalSave member, you’ll never pay full price at the dentist again.
DentalSave discounts apply to every dental procedure—from basic check-ups and cleanings to more complex treatments like root canals and crowns to braces, dental implants, and more.
