How to buy a dental plan

< Return to Understanding your dental coverage



If your employer doesn’t offer dental benefits, if you are a part-time or seasonal worker, if you are retired, or if you’re just in need of a dental plan, we have one that will fit your unique needs and budget. Let’s get you started

Evaluate your needs

Everyone has different dental health needs. Use the information below to help guide your choice.

Even if you have good oral health now, it’s still important to have a dental plan in case unexpected dental work is needed. Find out why dental is essential.

Why dental is essential

You may have a family, or could be starting one soon. You will need a plan that covers you, your spouse and your children. Learn more about dental plans that suit the specific needs of families.

Plan for your future

Additional considerations

Not only do dental benefits save you money by lowering the cost of dental treatments, but you can save even more money by using an in-network dentist.

What plan best suits your financial needs?

Look at the deductible and copays for varying levels of care, as well as the different premiums.

In addition to typical coverage, some carriers offer enhanced benefits. Enhanced benefits provide extra oral health care for people who may benefit from additional dental services due to specific health conditions. For example, people with diabetes, heart conditions or oral cancer may benefit from additional cleanings to help maintain their overall health. Some dental plans may also include add-ons, such as orthodontic benefits.
