Discounted Dental Treatment Plans in Forest Hills, NY

Routine preventive dental care is important to your oral and overall health, but not everyone can afford to pay the exorbitant coverage prices set forth by insurance companies. Even changes made under the Affordable Care Act have had little impact on lowering dental insurance costs.

The good news is that Dr. Stern and his team at Harold Stern, DDS, PC have invested in a much more direct and affordable dental plan through Doctors Network. Our plan significantly reduces the overall costs of dental health care and provides much-needed peace of mind to patients without dental insurance.

All Harold Stern, DDS, PC patients are eligible for the direct dental plan. Simply pay a one-time activation fee and low monthly fee of $39.99, with no hidden costs or last-minute surcharges to worry about.

The Advantages of Our Direct Dental Plan

Dental insurance is expensive, and in many cases, doesn’t cover much of your dental treatment. However, not having dental insurance makes vital dental care even more expensive and out-of-reach. Paying out-of-pocket can make simple, routine care too expensive to afford, and lack of care can lead to increasingly more serious dental health issues.

With our direct plan, provided through Doctors Network, patients at our Forest Hills dentist’s office can now receive the preventive care they need without breaking the bank, and without the hassle of dealing with an insurance company.

FAQs: Direct Dental Plan vs. Dental Insurance

1. How is a direct dental plan different than insurance?

Dealing with dental insurance can be a hassle for many reasons. You rarely see who you’re dealing with, the total costs are often more than expected, and the coverage is frequently insufficient for the care you need. A direct dental plan eliminates this frustration by cutting out the middle-man and allowing you to pay for your dental care directly to the dentist providing it. Or if you are looking for a no insurance dentist, a Doctors Network dentist is a great option! Our dental plan makes all of your dental care more affordable by reducing costs of on every treatment option that we provide at Harold Stern, DDS, PC.

2. What are the membership costs?

Membership in Doctors Network requires creating an account for a low, one-time activation fee and monthly subscription fee of $39.99. Because the plan isn’t created by an insurance company, there are no hidden fees or surprise charges; just a simple subscription that grants you significant discounts on the high-quality dental care you deserve.

3. How does the plan work?

Insurance companies decide what treatments and what percentage of the costs they’ll cover based on complicated algorithms that have nothing to do with your personal dental needs. Our direct dental plan in Forest Hills, NY, a better and more affordable option. With the direct plan, all of our treatments are priced according to a fee schedule that all Doctors Network participants follow. You’ll never have to guess how much maintaining your smile will cost, or worry about what surprise charges will be added onto your bill.

 

4. How much do checkups and cleanings cost?

We encourage everyone to maintain a consistent schedule of checkups and cleanings at our Forest Hills dentist’s office to avoid the development of serious dental health issues. If you don’t have insurance, however, then even routine visits can quickly become too expensive to maintain consistently. With our direct dental plan, you can more easily afford to take excellent care of your smile, with regular checkup and cleaning appointments that cost only $25 per visit.

5. What about cosmetic treatments, like teeth-whitening?

Insurance companies don’t consider cosmetic smile improvement a necessity, and therefore will not cover even simple touch ups like professional teeth-whitening. Because we want all of our patients to be proud of their healthy, beautiful smiles, all of our cosmetic dental treatments are discounted through our direct dental plan (sometimes by up to 80%).

6. If I have a cavity, do I have to get a metal filling?

If you have a cavity, your insurance coverage may include some or all of your treatment, but you’ll have to settle for a conspicuous metal filling for it to be covered. Tooth-colored fillings are often safer and always more discreet, and with Dr. Stern’s direct dental plan, you can enjoy the tooth filling of your choice at equally discounted costs. The same is true if you require more extensive restorative treatment, such as root canal therapy and/or a porcelain dental crown.

7. My insurance won’t cover dental implants; will my plan cover them?

Tooth loss can have a devastating effect on your oral health, your smile’s appearance, and your overall quality of life. Today, dental implants are well-known for their immediate and long-term benefits, such as improved comfort and support for your replacement teeth, as well as better preservation of your jawbone structure. If your insurance coverage won’t cover the costs of dental implants, then your direct dental plan with Harold Stern, DDS, PC can still make receiving them a more affordable option.

8. What if I have to cancel my account?

If, for any reason, you decide to deactivate your account, you can do so at any time by contacting Doctors Network. There is no contract for your direct dental plan, so you don’t have to pay an early termination fee. However, this direct dental plan is provided by your local dentist at a very reasonable cost in order to provide the best option for the community to preserve their oral health long term, and it is not meant for one-time or emergency treatments or for short term use. Doing so without a legitimate reason will be considered misuse of this great system.
