In my second year, and I have recommended this to my family and friends. I received an email reminder about renewal, well before it was due, so I could cancel if I wanted. Why would I want to cancel? Great service, and huge discounts! True, the fee schedule is for general dentistry, but there are still a few dentists out there that are willing, and fully capable, of doing root canals and extractions. If you do have to go to an endo, at least you get 20% off if they participate. If they don't, ask them to! In most cases, they get more of a reimbursement at 80% cash, than they would with contracted insurance rates anyway - and you save tons not having monthly insurance premiums. Seriously, if all my husband and I have done in a year is an exam and xrays, I've already gotten my money's worth - throw in a cleaning, and I just made money. Regular fees $464, Careington fee $204, Saved $262 MORE than enough to pay for our annual membership If your dentist tells you they accept Careington, but are billing incorrectly, reach out to Careington for help. My dental office told me (incorrectly) that this plan only saved me $500 per year, then said I was looking at the wrong fee schedule. They just weren't familiar with the program so it took a little effort on my part, but well worth it!

Went to DC Dental Group / 3901 W. McDowell Road Phoenix, AZ 85009 mydcdental.com/ and presented my Careington 500 Dental Discount Card, DC Dental actually charged me more than they charge their normal customers. They quoted me $20 for a dental exam over the phone, then charged me $31.00 dollars, when I asked them why they charged me more than the $20.00 quoted to me over the phone, they blatantly to me because you presented your Careington 500 Dental Discount Card !, incredible. Then Careington fee schedule listed $60.00 for a smiple tooth extraction, DC Dental presented me with a quote for $170.00 for a simple tooth exaction, I paid the exam fee and got the heck out of there as soon as possible, then called my bank and disputed not only the dental ripoff but also Careington 500 Dental Discount Card ripoff, in addition to stopping payment on any further payments, reporting them to RipoffReport.com, a negative review here and also on Google, Stay far away from Careington 500 Dental Discount Card and even further away from DC Dental in Phoenix, Arizona

SCAM. Complete Joke. You get in the chair and and that’s where you learn the real cost.
Mr Cristian B.
Saves a ton of money if you know how to use it. Go for C500 providers not POS (those basically do not offer any discount) other than that, i’m very happy about it. Saved me at least couple thousand, sometimes discounts are even better than the most expensive insurance plans

Can't be used if you have insurance and can't get a refund even though that information wasn't presented to me via the dentist office that talked me into buying it.

Took 5 months for Careington to reply to my review....shocking! Oh, and for clarification "We would just like to point out that Careington is not insurance. Careington provides discounts on services which are listed clearly at careington.com " You may want to make sure that your dental provider knows about the discounts that Careington is claiming to "provide".
