48-year-old Kimberly Williams of Cedar Falls, Iowa needs dental work. An extraction, two crowns, and a root canal. She has dental insurance, but it doesn’t cover everything. The estimate: $4,500, out of pocket.
You want to make sure your kids needs come first, you need to take care of yourself too sometimes, said Williams.
Enter health savings expert Jason Szczuka, he says shop around. “What you pay out of pocket can very hundreds to thousands of dollars at each dentist.”
Using websites like fairhealth.org and his site brighter.com, you can compare prices.
He found several highly rated dentists that would treat Kimberly for just $2000 in co-pays, a savings of $2,500.
And an even bigger dental discount route to consider, dental students.
Under the close supervision of some of the most experienced dentists in the state, universities offer cutting edge care at up to 50% off the cost of most dental practices.
Screening and prep work can cost about $100, but for Kimberly, after her insurance, out of pocket those four procedures came to $1,640! saving her almost $3,000.
And that’s something to smile about.
