Choosing Dental Insurance That’s Affordable and Usable

Price is always a consideration when choosing an insurance plan. But don’t pay for a policy that doesn’t help your family maintain good dental health.

Out of Pocket Costs

Dental insurance plans may come with a:

• Deductible—the amount that needs to be paid by you before the insurance begins covering treatment.
• Co-pay—the amount you pay when you go to the dentist. This can vary by what you have the dentist do.
• Benefits cap—the most the insurance plan will cover over a given time period.
• Waiting period—the amount of time you may have to wait before getting certain services.

Preventative Services

Any good dental plan will cover the majority of preventative dental services. These services promote good dental health and save everyone money in the long run. Examples of these services include:

• Teeth Cleaning
• Examinations
• X-Rays

A plan that doesn’t cover most of the costs for these services services is likely not a good option for your family because it excludes the most basic dental services.

Check the Network

If you’re considering a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) or Dental Health Maintenance Organization (DHMO) for your dental insurance, make sure to check their network for an accepted dentist near you.

Dental PPOs offer more flexibility for choosing dentists and specialists, but may come with higher costs. DMHOs are less expensive, but only if you work with a dentist in their network.
