Charlotte Dentist Helps Area Families Through Dental Alternative To High Cost Insurance

    CHARLOTTE, NC, March 28, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Established in 1984, Bateman Family Dental, sedation dentistry in Charlotte, shows their commitment to their patients through alternative solutions for affordable dental health care. As the healthcare debate rages nationally, this Charlotte dentist has decided to do something tangible to help individuals and families afford quality dental care.

"Statistically speaking, more than 60% of Americans don't have dental insurance," said Dr. Richard Bateman, Charlotte cosmetic dentist, from his dental practice on Park Cedar Drive in south Charlotte. "This means that a large majority of people delay a dental procedure which is not good for dental health or overall healthcare." A recent report by CBS News indicated dental decay as a contributing factor in many seemingly unrelated health problems including heart disease, infection as well as school and work absences.

The answer to this growing problem is a program called Quality Dental Plan that founder Dr. Dan Marut helped develop with other dentists across the country. This program is both simple and ingenious, which may prove to be a model for healthcare reform across the board. Dr. Marut stated, "Numbers don't lie and we found that we could create a system where families could get earlier preventative and less expensive dental care."

In addition, Dr. Bateman, dentist in Charlotte, NC, recently calculated how many hundreds of extra dollars families were spending by not catching potential problems that could have been found during a simple annual dental exam. As a result, this dentist in Charlotte contacted the Quality Dental Plan to assist their patients by offering a low-cost alternative to dental insurance.

"This one simple step has allowed us to eliminate the insurance company as middle man. Those savings are going right back into the pockets of our patients locally. I'm really proud to be part of this cost-saving movement. This is a great system for dental care everywhere," stated Dr. Bateman, cosmetic dentist in Charlotte.

Patients can now afford an array of procedures such as Charlotte veneers, Invisalign, crowns, and sedation dentistry. For more information about Quality Dental Plan, go to www.qualitydentalplan.com.
