Dental care is easier to plan for when you know what your plan covers. Our agency helps you understand how dental insurance works for you and your family, from routine cleanings to larger procedures.
What it covers
Common dental plan coverages
Many dental plans group services by type and cover each group differently. Deductibles, waiting periods and annual maximums vary, so it helps to review each part.

-
Preventive care
Routine cleanings, exams and X-rays. Many plans cover preventive care at a higher level than other services.
Ask about this -
Basic care
Services such as fillings and simple extractions, often covered after a deductible and sometimes after a waiting period.
Ask about this -
Major care
More involved work, such as crowns, bridges or dentures, which plans often cover at a lower level and may have longer waiting periods.
Ask about this -
Orthodontics
Some plans include orthodontic coverage, sometimes only for children or with a separate lifetime limit. Many plans do not include it.
Ask about this -
Annual maximum
Many plans limit how much they pay in a plan year. Costs above that amount are generally your responsibility.
Ask about this -
Dental network
Some plans require you to use in-network dentists, while others let you see any dentist but may pay less out of network.

Why it matters
Check the waiting periods and limits
Two dental plans with similar premiums can work very differently. Waiting periods, annual maximums and how each type of service is covered all affect what you pay when you need care.
If you expect to need more than routine cleanings, it helps to read how the plan handles basic and major services before you enroll. Health insurance generally does not include routine adult dental care, so dental coverage is usually a separate plan.
Dental coverage for children is one of the essential health benefits, and it may be included in a health plan or offered as a separate plan.
