Why would I want a Shine membership if I already have dental insurance?

Great question! There are several reasons why a person with dental insurance would also want to get a Shine Dental Savings Plan account. Unlike medical insurance, traditional dental insurance has what is known as an “annual maximum.” This means that your dental insurance will only cover up to a certain amount of dental bills in a given year (generally $1500 – $2500). After you have spent this amount, any additional dental bills will be paid out of pocket. For this reason, individuals who expect to have large dental bills coming up (eg: surgeries, implants, etc) can use their Shine membership to save on larger bills.

Additionally, dental insurance does not cover a lot of products and procedures you want and need most. As an example, teeth whitening, night guards, and necessary oral care products are not covered under most dental insurance plans. However, Shine offers up to 70% off on these products as well as free shipping, extended warranties, and exclusive discounts on reorders. No other dental insurance provider OR Savings Plan offers such discounts.
