Dentist Direct is a stand-alone dental and vision carrier with plans that were originally created based on the feedback of both providers and their patients. The result - exceptional care at an affordable price.
The Problem
Many employers use dental insurance as a benefit to attract top employees. Individuals often use dental benefits to supplement their personal dental expenses. However, with some dental plans on the market today, dental benefits may not be a benefit at all. In fact, some dental plans may actually hinder employees from obtaining the best care available. Newer treatment methods can sometimes be more effective, but are often rejected in favor of cheaper, outdated methods.
What happens to the patient as dentists and insurance carriers negotiate over fees?
 |
• |
Patients are denied access to new procedures because they are not covered by their insurance.
|
|
• |
If the dentist provides the highest quality care, he/she may absorb a loss in revenue, or bill the patient for the balance of the fee not covered by their insurance.
|
|
• |
Balance billing suggests to the patient that the dentist is overcharging and can damage the patient/provider relationship.
|
To avoid these issues, many dentists simply stop accepting dental insurance completely.

Years ago a cooperative of industry-leading dentists observed these trends and partnered with Dentist Direct to create a way to offer premium quality care at an affordable price.
