STUDENT COVERAGE
The majority of Universities and Colleges provide dental coverage for students as part of their tuition. We have partnered with the student network to enable you to have up to 100% of your dental costs covered by the dental plan. Your plan covers up to 60-80% of your dental costs and by visiting Bite Dental, you will receive an additional 20% to 30% off dental services.
Student Exclusive Discounts
Bite Dental has partnered with the Studentcare Dental Network to offer discounts that work together with student insurance to provide affordable dental services. Students are now able to save up to 100% of their dental expenses.
Flexible Scheduling
We understand that students have unpredictable schedules, therefore we have decided to offer timely appointments between classes and can work with you to split treatment across multiple visits.
