I need lots of Dental work and have a question about the costs. I'm scared.?!


Question:

I need lots of Dental work and have a question about the costs. I'm scared.?

I have a serious Phobia when it comes to going to the dentist and sadly because of that I am at a point now where I need lots of work done (3 wisdom teeth pulled, probably one of my molars pulled... at least one root canal & quite a few cavities, plus an implant to replace the pulled molar, etc..)
I have insurance through my husbands work (Military) and so I am extremely lucky to be able to have a big portion of the costs paid through my ins. But because I have so much work needing to be done I'm concerned about the cost. I have about 2k put aside and am hoping that will cover the costs.
I know with out going in and finding out exactely what needs to be done that it's hard to get an estimate but, am I close or still way off?
I know all of it will not be able to be done in one or even two procedures but I want to be sure I have enough money to get it all taken care of once and for all, and I want to be knocked out for the procedures because of my phobia. Thank you.


Answers:

Well first of all I feel your pain....I dont know what your insurance covers exactly but I can tell you implants are very costly, what about a bridge instead? I dont know about you r credit as well but I got this credit card that offers 18 months no interest as long as you make your monthly payments...which makes it much more reasonable...I think its called Care Credit. Finally you wont know the cost till you go to your dentist, they all have different prices and beware of those just trying to make the most money from you..Go to the dentist discuss your options and then do some research before you get the work done to make sure you arent getting taken advantage of...Good luck!
