I visit my regular doctor and dentist every 6 months anyway. Just preventative.

Mana desis ki flossing alavatu undadu. Adokkati alavatu chesukunte dental hygiene baga improve avutadi.

Second option, if you have a dental school in your area, go there. They will do the needful and you can use your insurance, and it's almost 60% of what the dentists charge outside.

Kaakapothe, you need to go for extra sittings, as dental students will treat you with the supervision of professor.
I could introduce myself properly, but it's not really necessary. You will know me well enough and soon enough, depending on a diverse range of variables. It suffices to say that at some point in time, I will be standing over you, as genially as possible. Your soul will be in my arms. A color will be perched on my shoulder. I will carry you gently away....

Only caveat of desam treatment is some dentists don't use deo/perfume and you will be at receiving end.

Mrhyderabad:

Like most of desis... never went to a dentist in India until i came to usa

Ikkada vachaaka kuda once in 2 years for cleaning etc. No major issues.

Almost 3 years tarvatha cleaning / usual health check type ani velthe... tagore cinema lo doctors type lo oka pedda list ichaadu

2 teeth need rct and after that one of them may need crown etc

each rct ki out of pocket cost almost 480 bucks
crown ki out of pocket 750 or so.

dental ins is with metlife with 80-20 coverage
rct ki 80% covered but crown ki only 50% covered anta

I know dental is expensive in america... but maree inta expensive aa?

First of all, i have no pain at all..even with cold/hot drinks or sweets etc.
just went for regular cleaning...




Dealing with dentists and used car sales people is same (family and friend circle lo dentists lu unnaru), so personal experience

Ask your dentist what is the cash price (like, if you don't have insurance), it should be less than what he quoted you

Cheppinaaka, ask to charge your insurance the max amount possible and rest you can play cash.

Adu ledu ante, Ok fold it i found someone who is willing to do this ani cheppu, ade chestaadu.

Chitti_babu:

but fellow DBers cheppadam compared to Desham ikkada treatment baaguntadhi. so oka rupaayi poyina ikkade best ani.





Desam is 10,000 miles ahead. Now dental implants are done in 2 mins there, some keyhole technology.. 15000/- to 20,000/- INR per implant... 5,000/- for high quality Zika crown. Ikkada chaala chotla inka drill machines pattuku vasthunnaaru for implants.

Orthodontics:
braces India lo 30,000/- ki chesthaaru in a good hospital.. ikkada around $4k to 5K.
Invisible aligners less than 1 Lac in India.. Ikkada $5K +

Here is approx price list from a very good hospital in Hyderabad - "The Dental Specialists"

https://www.whatclinic.com/dentists/india/hyderabad/dr-venka t-the-dental-specialist-implant-centre

These days patients from Australia and UK are coming to India for Dental treatment

pay chesthunna premium kee you get 2-4 free cleanings, 1 yearly checkup , x rays etc. covered
my take : with the amount of crap we eat/drink/inhale, make sure you use these

it's like engine oil or tire maintenance for an automobile
you would not leave them unattended right?

yeah.. just checked the benefits... annual max is $2500 anta

No wonder monthly premium is very less for dental compared to health ins.

cell phone data plan rollover type.. ee ins sector lo kuda rollover concept raavaali... 10 years didn't use much... ippudu avasaram ante max limit 2500 per year
