I would suggest that you compare actual prices for these procedures with dentists who don't accept insurance. My dentist does not accept dental insurance, but his price for a crown is way less than a dentist who does accept dental insurance. If the dentist who accepts insurance charges double, how much are you really saving? Personally, I think dental insurance is a scam.
