I need dental insurance... [View all]
I recently went for a teeth cleaning after 1-1/2 years (covid helped not at all) and was hit with a $10K estimate for what it will cost me to get all the dental work done. I need my teeth scaled again as I do have periodontal disease and lapsed with the cleaning. I also lost a crown; doc thinks tooth is too degraded to try to rebuild so suggest a permanent bridge for that tooth. And finally, I have 3 other cracked crowns that will need attention eventually.
Does anyone recommend any kind of dental insurance to be used with this dentist? I signed up for Medicare Advantage but did not do anything about insuring my mouth, damn the bad luck.
And after getting the diagnosis above, can I still get and use an insurance? My first visit to get this started is next week.
This will be done incrementally but it sure threw me for a loop. Any and all comments or recommendations appreciated!
