Arkansas discount dental plans offer superior savings over traditional dental insurance. These discount plans will save you anywhere from 10-60 off on both routine dental care and major dental procedures. This is unlike dental insurance, which focuses primarily on preventive care and does not cover pre-existing conditions until you've owned the policy for at least a full year. Even then you'll only receive a small amount of coverage.
Here's an example of an Arkansas dental discount plan at work.

The following example was originally taken from a discount plan available in the Bentonville, Arkansas area. This plan is also available in Rogers, Fayetteville, Little Rock and all of the state of Arkansas.
3 Example
Let's say that you or one of your family members is in need of a root canal. The average national cost (at this time) of having this procedure done (for a Molar tooth) is 829.00. With this particular dental discount plan your cost would only be 412.00. This is a savings of 417.00, Which is over 50.
The cost of this plan is just 99.95 per year for an individual or 149.95 per year for an entire family. This means that if you need a root canal performed on a Molar Tooth, your first visit to the dentist would save you 417.00, minus 149.95 for a family dental plan, equals a total savings of 267.05. If you're single you can add another 50 to your savings for a total of 317.05.

Keep in mind that this is only for one procedure. You and your family will continue to save money every time you visit the dentist for an entire year. These savings can add up to be hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

Has it been awhile since you or your family have been able to see a dentist? Don't feel bad or embarrassed about it. Latest statistics show that 7-10 people in the USA have no dental plan, so this is completely understandable.
Arkansas is no different. Let's look at what your initial savings would be with this discount plan.
6
The first thing you would need to have done is an "In-Depth" Check-up. The usual cost of this would be 67.00, but with your new plan you will only pay 28.00, a savings of 39.00.
Next, you'll need full mouth x-rays taken. This way your dentist will know right away what work needs to be done right away, what can wait, ect. The usual cost of full mouth x-rays is 104.00, but you'll only have to pay 50.00, a savings of 54.00.
7
After this is done you'll need an adult teeth cleaning done to get rid of all that plaque build up and also make it easier for your dentist to work on your teeth down the line. The usual cost of adult teeth cleaning is 75.00, but you'll only pay 38.00, a savings of 37.00. Now you're ready to take care of any major dental work that you may need done.

Did you see what you've just done in this example? You gotten all of your basic needs taken care of and already saved a total of 131.00. If you have a family, your savings will be through the roof in no time at all!
