Looking for a dental insurance that covers cosmetic services
I am in need of some cosmetic services. I need to have two dental implants and would like to have my teeth whiten. Although I do have dental insurance I was told they do not cover for cosmetic which they are saying the implants are since I do not want the cheaper choice of a bridge. Also they do not cover for any teeth whiten treatments.
My dentist told me it can be hard to find dental insurance that will cover the very dental services I need. I am really upset and I am hoping someone will have some suggestions for me.

My suggestion would be getting a dental discount plan. Your dentist is correct in saying many dental insurance is not set to cover out on cosmetic dental services.
However with a dental discount plan you will at least get discounted saving off your cosmetic dental services. Just make sure you have a dentist in the plan that does the dental services you are looking for

Call up your current dental insurance and see if they offer any cosmetic riders that you can pay for. You may get lucky but you do not know if you do not ask.

Well I had to get dental implants and could not find any dental insurance that would help me. When I told this to the dentist he told me they accepted a discount plan called Careington 500.
I got a 15 percent discount off the cost of the implants I needed and then the dentist gave me 5 percent off for paying in full. Just work with the dentist and see if you can not come of with some kind of saving that will help you
