Just like finding free parking downtown during SXSW, navigating dental insurance can be tricky – but we’re here to help! For many people, choosing the right dental insurance plan can significantly reduce out-of-pocket costs. If you qualify for Medicaid, your children can receive free dental care, though adult coverage is usually limited. While traditional Medicare doesn’t cover dental work, Medicare Advantage plans often include dental benefits that can help seniors manage costs for major procedures.

Whether you have a tooth that needs to be fixed, a gum problem, or concerns about your smile, there are likely multiple ways to treat your condition. DenScore’s free online dental tool will provide you with information so you can ask your dentist the right questions and get the high-quality dental care you deserve.

Prevention is key – and much cheaper than fixing problems later! Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are your best defense against costly procedures. If you have insurance, staying with an in-network dentist typically saves money. No insurance? Don’t worry! Many dental offices in Austin offer membership plans that make care more affordable. It’s also worth calling different offices to compare prices – fees can vary significantly. Just like savvy Austinites know to compare food truck prices, shopping around for dental care can help you find the best value without compromising quality.
