Absolutely! Just like shopping for anything else, you need to do your homework first. If you know which dentist you want to go to, call them and find out which plan the prefer and how much they charge for certain procedures you will need using that discount plan. Their are plans that include "cosmetic" procedures such as whitening and others that are only the basics. You've got to go in knowing what you want.
What is great with the discount plans, is that they are just as good when used to find a dentist in a new town. You can pull up a list of dentists that accept your plan, and call around to just those offices to get quotes.
Of course, money is not the only consideration, and honestly should not be the top priority. You want to find a doctor and hygienist that you can trust to look out for you and not just their bottomline who also provide exceptional service.
