I was pricing dental insurance and noticed some dentists have their own plans. I have trouble affording my dental care and the dentist I want to go to isn’t on any of the plans. I noticed some dentists have their own plans. Why are they not just part of the regular dental plans?

One of the problems with dental insurance plans is they often try to dictate what work the dentist can do. They want to only cover the lowest cost treatment. While low cost is great, Sometimes a patient wants the best treatment.
Dentists want to give their patients the best dental care possible. Sometimes, to do that and keep the dentistry affordable they start their own care plan.
You pay a minimal fee, but get discounts on all your care. It enables the dentist to do quality work, while giving patients the discounts they typically get with insurance.
