Dental Discount family plans, reviews of the Aetna Denta Choice
I was reviewing your dental discount plan you have called Denta Choice+, that looks be offer though Aetna. Is that the same Aetna that also has a PPO dental insurance plan? I would like to know because when I had a job I got offer Aetna dental PPO and it was a good plan.
I know that this is a discount plan but since I know the company (if it is the same one) I feel like I can trust it a little more. It looks like you can get some good saving and it seems to list my current dentist as a provider too.

Yes the Denta Choice plus plan that is offer though Aetna is the same Aetna dental insurance company that has a PPO dental insurance as well.
However, as you noted Dental Choice plus plan is not insurance but a dental discount plan offer though Aetna dental. So it is not to be confused with there PPO dental insurance plan.
It is a good dental discount plan that will help you save money off your dental needs. That the dentist you want to go to is listed in the plan make it even better for your needs. Since you do need to go to provider that are in the plan network. I suggest just calling the dental office and confirming they are still in fact accepting the plan before buying it. Otherwise it looking like a very good plan for you.

I have the Denta Choice plus discount plan. It has been a really good discount plan and fit my dental needs well so far.
However, make sure you do have a dentist that is taking the plan. Confirm this carefully with the dentist before having dental work started.
When I first got the plan I realized that a few of the dentist I called would get confused and think I am talking about Aetna dental insurance and not their plan. So make sure they know you are talking about the discount plan and not their insurance to avoid the hassle latter.

That was a problem for me as well. Though over all my person experience with the the Denta Choice plus plan has been a good one.
I have the Denta Choice plus plan as well as my dental insurance I have though my job. I was able to find a dentist that would use both plans. So when I reach my maxed annual limitation on my dental insurance (which for me is like every year) he would honor the discount plan at that point.
