I used my dental discount and saved $44 on my cleaning, $27 off fluoride, and $30 off my oral evaluation. That&amp;rsquo;s a total of $101 savings, or 51%! I&amp;rsquo;m so impressed with this savings and will continue to use my dental discount every time I visit the dentist.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Kendall M., TX &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;I went to a dentist in the dental network and asked what needed to be done. I have some very large, old fillings. My previous dentist told me I would need to have the teeth crowned. The network dentist, knowing I did not have insurance but did have the discount dental plan, said the crowns were one option and replacing the fillings was another. Had I chosen the crowns, my cost without insurance or the card would have been $750 per crown. With the dental plan, the same crowns would have been $496, a savings of over $250 on each crown. As it was, I wound up paying $142 for two fillings instead of $180, for a savings of $38. I was very pleased.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Greg J., CA &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;rdquo;I recently added the discount card as an employee benefit for my staff. I had immediate positive feedback and used my own card with great results. My receptionist saved $780 when she found her orthodontist was in network and I personally saved $104 when I bought two pairs of Serengeti sunglasses for my Caribbean honeymoon!&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;John M., TX &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Two weeks after receiving my discount card I had a dental emergency. With the discount card, I was able to locate a dental provider very near to my office. The emergency I experienced required I have one tooth capped and another one filled. The discount card saved me $200.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Wood S., CA&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;In June, my wife went to the dentist and needed to have work done on her teeth-- the total cost would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $8,000. I then went back to the billing office and showed them my card and the bill was reduced to about $1,600. I do not view it as being better than insurance, but I do think it is a tremendous help when insurance is not able to help.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Daniel G., TX &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;We saved $1,042, which is 25% off, on the cost of our daughter&amp;rsquo;s braces at a major chain. WOW!&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Carolyn H., TX&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;I called my son's Orthodontist after verifying he was a participant and saved an additional $700 on his braces&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Karen C., CT&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;I just went for my 6 month check-up at the dentist. On the way over, I remembered my discount card and wondered if it would save me any money on my cleaning and X-rays. When I got there, I gave the receptionist my card and told them I knew it wasn&amp;rsquo;t insurance but didn&amp;rsquo;t know if it was of any benefit. She said it couldn&amp;rsquo;t hurt to check. My X-rays and check-up cost me approximately $85 less by using the card. I was so happy to learn that! THANK YOU SO MUCH.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;John W., TX&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;My husband went to the dentist today to have a root canal done. It would have been $575, but with his discount we paid $400&amp;hellip; that&amp;rsquo;s a good deal! Thanks!&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;D.B.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;I was pleasantly surprised when the wife used the discount card. She saved almost $500 on a couple of dental procedures which included two crowns and X-rays. We saved more than 25%!&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
