Update: Discover Dental is still a rip off. I went to an honest and reputable dentist a month after my horrible experience with Discover. The new dental office informed me that my teeth and gum health was great. They performed a cleaning and X-rays, and I was on my way. Shame on you Discover Dental for trying to rip people off with HMOs!!

I went in as a first time patient and was told I have moderate to severe gingivitis and needed a special type of cleaning. In addition to that I was told I need multiple sealants. ($1,200) I have always had great dental health and get my regular 6 month cleanings right on time (up to about a year and a half ago when I lost my dental coverage). I brush my teeth 2-3 times per day and floss regularly. When I asked if I could get a regular cleaning (that s covered with my insurance plan), I was told I had to have a special cleaning.
When Dr. Tran came in he went over my X-rays with me and kept mentioning things that were wrong with my teeth (decay, grinding, etc). I was NEVER told this from my previous dentist over the years. Dr. Tran also seemed to be in a big rush the entire time he was with me.
I will not be going back or recommending Discover Dental.

P.S. If you skipped a cleaning or two, do NOT mention it to them. They will take full advantage of that.
