North Carolina Cosmetic dental insurance care needed.
Well I think like most of my friends and family we are hoping for a much better and brighter New Year. I am hoping to do many things and make many healthy new changes for myself. One of them being, new teeth.
I am not sure where to go to get some help for teeth corrections. I have really bad teeth due to my being a diabetic. I did not take good care of myself like I should have and my teeth went to heck because of it.
I am not sure if I can have dental implants but I would like new teeth either way. I have many missing teeth so the few places I did called said they would not offer coverages for teeth replacements to currently missing teeth. What can I do to get some dental help. I am not poor but I do not want to spend more the I have too and any help would be great.

Here is my suggestion: I would see a cosmetic dentist in your area that will offer a free consultation with no commitment.
this would be helpful to you to know what can and can not be done and what you are hoping to find either a dental insurance or a dental discount plan for.
Since you stated that you were a diabetic you may not be able to have dental implants due to possible bone loss and healing time being and example. Having X-rays done would let the dentist know more so if you do have pay for X-ray it may be a well worth expense.
With dental implans assuming you can have them many dental insurance company will not cover them due to cost or being consider cosmetic service.
In that case you would want to review are dental discount plans options. Since you will get between 15 to 20 percent saving as long as there is a dentist in the plan network that dose dental implant services. (Note on a dental discount plan you get dental saving off any dental service you may need.)
Even if you decide to get dentures which would be a much more affordable option. Make sure if you do get insurance that the plan you are wanting will cover for the dentures some companies may have a missing tooth clause that you can fall into and not be covered.
