| The Dental Care Advantage Program is a discount or "reduced fee" dental program. This program is designed for health conscious consumers looking to maintain their oral health and minimize their dental care expenses. General dentists who participate in Dental Care Advantage have agreed to accept a discounted fee as payment in full for each service performed. These discounted fees are 20-55% less than what a dentist would normally charge. A sample table of average Dental Care Advantage discounted fees can be found below. |
