The wife and I are fortunate as we have dental insurance through her job. While it is not the greatest I cannot imagine how much we'd pay if we had no insurance. I have had individual medical insurance through Blue Cross when I was single but never dental. I would imagine it has to be very expensive and there is the deductible to think about. There is also the problem with the insurance paying only the "usual and customary fee". Sometimes the dentist can't make a buck with the payouts and won't accept the insurance!
Here is a thought about what my wife did before she had dental insurance. She went to a dental school and had the work done fairly cheaply. Granted it is not the best option but it still may be a good one. Please don't get angry it is just a thought!
