Dental insurance companies: compare the exact plan

← Insurance & dental care: patient resource center

An insurer’s name is only the starting point. Your benefits depend on the specific dental product, network, state and coverage year. Employer benefits, individual dental insurance and public-program dental benefits can have different rules.

What to compare

Ask whether your chosen dentist participates in the exact network, whether the procedure is covered and what you would pay. Compare the written policy, not just a brand or advertised monthly price. A dental discount membership is not the same as insurance.

Before you choose

• Find the exact plan name and network
• Check preventive, restorative and major-treatment benefits
• Ask about waiting periods, exclusions and annual benefit limits
• Confirm the effective date and renewal rules
