Dental Insurance Plans for Cosmetic Dentistry Services
Question: I have teeth that do not have any cavities but I am a smoker. So my teeth are stained up. Although I used over the counter whitening strips they really only work for a few days then my teeth are back to how they looked before. I am trying to quit smoking but it not going to happen over night and I do not feel I should have to wait in order to have nice looking teeth. Are their any good affordable dental insurance plans that can help me with to cost of cosmetic dental care.
Answer: Most dental insurance plans do not have benefits for cosmetic dental care needs such as teeth whitening treatments and or dental veneers. However we do also provide dental discount plan options. With a dental discount plan you would save on average 15-20 percent off the cost of cosmetic dental care services with plan providers.
However you may want to keep in mind that if you do not quit smoking whatever you choose to have done to help your teeth look whiter will not stay that long if you continue to smoke afterwards.
