i recently got over a serious cocaine addiction and have been clean for about a year and a half, and in that time i have been completely changing my life. the only reminder i have is the effect it had on my teeth. i have a cavity on my eye tooth that doesn’t hurt a bit, but goes almost around my tooth by the gum area. i have two other smaller ones on the other eye tooth and right beside it. how much can i get fixed for little out of pocket and $1500 a year dental coverage?

Not too much, x-rays cleaning and general check-up will take care of most of the 1500, one more cleaning and you are out of money
I’ve never heard of xrays costing so much, but what do I know. Maybe you could work something out with a dentist? On a positive note, the x-rays are the most expensive start-up thing. And as you get the teeth filled maybe you could pay it off in installments. If you don’t get the dental care you need with teeth in that condition then you risk septicemia and bone infection.
By the way, good for you!! Best of luck…
It can depend on what you need to have done and keep in mind cost can very from dentist to dentist. I would suggest that you go to a dentist for a consult. See how much work they advise and how much it would cost. Make sure you get the ADA codes for the work they suggest you do so that you can compare coverages and also make sure that item would be covered under the plan you either have or looking to get.
Also ask the dentist if the work is some thing that can be spread out over time. 1500.00 max is normally per year. So if you are currently toward the end of your policy year say within .six month you could do some work this year and the rest when you policy term rolls over for the next year. Either way just make sure you work closely with the dental office as well as with your insurance carrier.
You may want to file a quote only claim to your insurance carrier. That way you will know what is your total out of pocket cost to you before having any dental work done. Sometimes that is required anyways, sometimes it is just suggest for you to do. If you find out a head of time then you are not stuck with a billing you were not expecting to pay later on.
