   How this Discount Dental Plan Can Save  You Money  
          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.
