As a self employed individual, I am faced with many of the same challenges that other freelancers are. One of those challenges is health/medical/dental insurance. Several months ago I set out to try and locate a low cost dental insurance alternative as my wife was facing a costly dental procedure and I was looking for some ways to manage that cost.
After doing considerable research and comparison shopping, I finally settled on www.DentalPlans.com as my choice. They offer many different plans, with varying costs and benefit structure, and I was able to find one that seemed to be appropriate for our needs.

After signing up and paying a modest yearly fee, I was provided with documentation and a dentist list in my area. Finding a dentist was no problem whatsoever, as I was in the process of finding a new dentist as my lifeong dentist had recently retired. I settled on Dr. Nicole Leigh of Rochester Hills, Michigan and made a preliminary vist to their office. Just as www.DentalPlans.com had told me, Dr. Leigh’s office accepted my plan and provided me with their fee schedule. I about fell out of my shoes to find out that the procedure that had been schedule to cost $1,500.00 at my wife’s dentist could be done at Dr. Leigh’s office for roughly half price.
In fact, since that time I have had routine dental exams and work done by Dr. Leigh. I am pleased to report that my payment for her service is now less than what I used to pay when I had a 50/50 dental plan with Delta Dental. Imagine that – I now have a dental insurance alternative that is even better than my old (and very popular) insurance.
If you or anyone you know is looking for a dental insurance alternative I highly recommend DentalPlans.com and suggest you give them a look. Also – I am delighted with Dr. Leigh and her staff. If you are local to the Rochester, Michigan area please consider her for your dental needs.

I am not familiar with that Dental Plan. You would have to call Dr. Leigh to see just what other plans her office accepts. Thanks for stopping by to comment.

I have found another insurance alternative, called http://dentalservice4less.com . What do you think about it? Does Dr. Leigh accept it also?
