I have dental insurance but I was thinking that if I bought a discount dental plan I can use the both and hopefully double my savings.

You can definitely call the dentist and ask them if they accept your plans, that's the best way to know if they will take what you have.
Good luck!

I sell discount dental plans (http://DiscountDental4u.net) for a living so I can tell you as a matter of fact that there is not a dentist in the world that will allow you to use your existing dental insurance on top of a discount plan? The reason is because no dentist is stupid enough to cut their rates twice which is what they would be doing if they accepted both insurance and a discount plan for the same procedure!
However, it may be possible to use a discount plan to reduce your out-of-pocket expenses on those dental procedures that your existing insurance does not cover. For example, if you need to get a root canal but your dental insurance doesn't pay for root canals, you could then join a discount plan and have your dentist perform the root canal at a substantially reduced price.

I personally use a ddp because of the low premiums and the no limits on visits and services. And not to mention with most of the ddp's you will receive other discount benefits like rx, vision and chiropractic services. I've never had a problem with the services I receive from the dentist or the staff. The service was great. I think you should try a ddp, because they have no contracts to sign and if your not happy you can cancel your membership at any time unlike dental insurance.

if you pay say 50 dollars a month for a discount dental plan, will you really save? only if you stop the plan after you get your teeth repaired. another thing, most discount plans will not cover preexisting problems. i would just get what my insurance will allow each year until i get them all repaired.

I believe they do. Call the dentist that you are going to and ask.
