Notes — Paying without insurance

No Dental Insurance?

Dental insurance usually pays part of the cost of covered procedures after your deductible, up to an annual maximum. Without insurance, you'll pay the full amount out of pocket.

Ways to save money without insurance:

  1. 01

    Dental discount plans — Reduced fees at participating dentists for a yearly membership

  2. 02

    Dental schools — Lower fees for care by supervised students

  3. 03

    Payment plans — Many dentists offer financing
