  Dental Discount Plan Vs. Dental Insurance     A dental discount plan is a membership-based discount plan for dental health maintenance and intervention. In it, the patient pays the entire cost of a rate negotiated between the dentist and the dental patient.  Discount dental programs are fee-based plans you buy outright. Dental discount plans are not dental insurance . These discount programs work like a membership program to offer you discounts/savings on various kinds of dental services. They may also come with added other benefits.  The dental services you receive under a discount plan will be provided by a network of dentists who have agreed to charge less. The amount of discount will vary by dental service and most, but not all, dental services may be available with this plan.

  Dental Extraction | Tooth Pulled Near Me   Types of dental extractions   There are two main types of dental extractions,  simple extractions and surgical extractions . Simple dental extractions are used to remove teeth that can be seen and are easily accessible, whereas surgical dental extraction typically requires an incision into the connective tissue to gain access to the tooth to be removed.  When a dentist has to make a surgical incision in the gums , it's considered a surgical tooth extraction , or oral surgery .
