My dentist is not in my plan but he does submit the paperwork and insurance payments go to me instead of him. This is fine as it has my wife's stamp of approval.

For now, I am hoping someone will provide a name for me that's in my plan. I have been searching for two plus years and I pretty much have gotten unreasonable quotes, for routine work.

I am not trying to penny pinch because I agree with the poster who said, "you get what you pay for" and there are some things one must not skimp on.

On the other hand, I don't want to get ripped off. I have been to four or five dentists and it's the same old story.

Just looking for an "honest dentist". Also looking to avoid having to do a lot of "trial and error" in finding a dentists. If Dr. Jerkins or Dr Williams were in my plan, this would not be an issue for me as good friends recommended them to me. Maybe I will have to bite the bullet and pay what's necessary, if I can't find a good dentists in my plan.

Yes, the dentists I have been to do that. If you try the $49, $59, etc specials they also find a way to rip you off. I am a dental hygienist so I speak with some knowledge of the system. I am sorry I do not have an answer for you.

I was going to change dentists here in Florida and when I tired I had to pay for a cleaning and X-ray's at the new office. Now staying with the old one which is somewhat out of the way.

Same thing happened to a friend here in The Villages she had to have a root canal after a cleaning, a tooth pulled, periodontist visit and then fillings for the root canal. Each office had to do their own X-ray's.
