Looking for a new dentist My company has self insured dental insurance. So they pay x amount of the first 500 and then x amount of the next 1000 and so on. Unfortunately since we are not in a big insurance plan, I dont get the negotiated prices that the insurance companies get.
How do I compare prices among dentists in my area? I guess I could just try and call them all. However, one that I called told me that they dont tell prices over the phone, wtf?
How can I check around and find good coverage for a price that will maximize my crappy insurance? Help!

Have you tried to just take a note of all the dentists you are interested in and look to see what their price range is? You may need to go in if they aren't going to give you anything over the phone. Most of the time their website will let you know of the price ranges too. I think that is your best bet. You could also ask around and see if your neighbors know how much they pay their dentists. http://www.jamesjuliendds.com/about
