Why Are Discount Dental Plans So Affordable?

Affordable dental plans work similarly to your favorite warehouse club membership, where members pay an annual fee to enjoy significantly discounted pricing. Key Dental Plan works the same way, saving you 20% to 60% on most general dental services, and up to 20% when you visit a specialist. Like a discount warehouse club, absolutely anyone can join, and since affordable dental plans are not insurance, there are no annual caps, limits on visits or forms to fill out.

Maintaining peak oral health is the absolute best way to minimize your personal out-of-pocket costs, and the best dental plans provide preventive, diagnostic, and emergency services. Since most dental ailments are avoidable with preventive care such as regular checkups and cleanings, you can get the most from affordable dental plans by brushing and flossing daily and maintaining a regular schedule of examinations and cleanings. When problems are diagnosed early, the treatment is always less extensive and less costly than when the dental condition has progressed.

Key offers affordable dental plans, enabling you to choose one that gives you the freedom to select any dentist in the Key Dental Provider Network, or maintain an established relationship with a dentist you’ll want to visit again and again.

Key Discount Dental Plan offers affordable dental plans that provide all of the above with no limit on the amount of visits to general dentists or dental specialists. Your existing dentist may even already be in-network!

Discount Dental Plans Work with Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry refers to dental work that improves the appearance of an individual’s teeth, gums and/or bite. Many regular dentists offer procedures that improve a person’s oral health and positively impacts the individual’s smile and overall appearance.

Discount dental plans include cosmetic dentistry procedures, such as:

  • Dental Contouring: This is the process of reshaping or sculpting an individual tooth or several teeth. Chipped, crooked or excessively long teeth can get an instant result. In some cases it can be used in place of orthodontics.
  • Bonding: This process is useful for excessively chipped, misshapen or uneven teeth. An enamel-like material applied to the tooth’s surface where it is shaped, hardened and then polished to a shine.
  • Bridges: If one or more teeth are missing, dental bridges can fill in the gaps to correct the bite and improve speech and appearance. These false teeth are held in place by two crowns and are not removable like dentures.
  • Veneers: This is when a thin layer of material is placed over a tooth in order to improve a discolored appearance or to protect the surface from damage.
  • Crowns: Think of crowns as “caps” that encircle a tooth or dental implant to restore its appearance and function.

Specialists, such as prosthodontists and orthodontists, are further trained in techniques and more individualized procedures, such as dentures, implants and braces. These will not only improve your appearance, but your speech, bite and long term dental health will be positively impacted as well.

For regular dentists and specialists that offer a range of cosmetic dentistry procedures, turn to Key Discount Dental Plan. Contact one of our knowledgeable customer care representatives at (800) 539-4550 or join online now. This is not insurance.

Replace Missing Teeth with Discount Dental Plans

Do you feel self conscious when you smile for family photos because of missing teeth? Perhaps you have trouble speaking or eating as well. Even worse, long term tooth loss can result in jaw bone loss, which may bring more dental health problems down the road.

Fortunately, you don’t have to live with this condition. Use your Key Dental Plan to replace missing teeth and receive discounts on many types of procedures designed to beautifully fill in the gaps.

  • Dental Implants: These are permanently affixed and meant to last a lifetime. Patients can receive full upper or lower implants, single tooth implants or anterior or posterior implants, depending on the individual.
  • Bridges: If an implant isn’t feasible, then the more traditional solution of a bridge is a good alternative. This is a type of denture that can replace an entire section of missing teeth. Some are removable while others are affixed.
  • Dentures: Replace missing teeth with partial or a complete set of dentures. They are less invasive procedure than implants and are removable for cleaning. They are designed to improve your appearance, bite and smile while supporting the facial muscles.
