Dental insurance question: if the company dental insurance doesn’t cover enough and you +spouse both need implant next year, could you buy additional dental insurance? From where? Anybody have the AICPA offered one? Thx!

I needed an implant and asked about a supplemental plan advertised at the dentist office. They told me my dental plan was “excellent” and nothing else would help. And then I paid them out of pocket thousands... hope you have a nice balance on your HSA/FSA, for you’re gonna need it... Good luck.

Try DentalPlans.com.

I had to get crowns for my implants and they weren’t covered by my insurance. The admin/billing person said that if I signed up for a plan ($100) on that website, then my bill would be cut in half due to the lower rates offered if I had that plan.
Pay $100 to to save $1,800+? It was a no brainer.
Call your dentist FIRST and see if they offer discounted rates if you signed up for a plan on that site.

Usually this is out of pocket FSA or HSA if you have

Dental insurance sucks. You basically just have to pay.

It’s called Care Credit. 😅 I would save the HSA until retirement. If you have FSA money then use it.
