First time trying to go to a dentist in US. Have the basic delta ppo insurance I believe. How to find a decent budget dentist in bay area ? Asking because my experience with using vision insurance was crazy.. all optometrist stores charge insane prices for pretty basic frames and lenses. But then I went to Costco and found exactly what price point I wanted. Edit - I'm probably going to need a cap and filling redo for an old root canal .. so going to be more than basic cleaning Any such hacks for dentists? Bay area tc 280k
Optometrists are different because they’re selling what are effectively fashion items.
You realize that you usually buy lenses with those frames, right? 🥸
Search for in-network dentist on delta website. Before any treatment, call them and ask for an estimate.
This sounds like the premise of a horror movie: "Budget dentist"
Or a porn movie
Yeah, get it done this week
Cheapskate
Most dental insurance is like lead generation for dentists . You really do not not have much room for negotiation or cost cutting.
Dental insurance is a scam. Sorry to be the one to break it to you.
It is not that expensive.
Why is it a scam?
PPO plan is a scam. Get your dental work done outside usa
My friend did that. She said she had a good experience, but I wouldn't do that unless I was already planning to go there on a trip to a country that has good dentists.
Cleanings are free on our insurance
regular checkups and cleaning.. should all be covered under insurance
