Perhaps the advantage plan you had was so pricy that you can now spend those copays and such on dental and vision.

If there's a dental school in your area that's a good place to look for dental treatment.

Otherwise, perhaps you need to revisit the advantage plans available to you. With luck, there's one that's better than the old one and will now include dental and vision. I know mine does.
