Coverage varies by plan, but dental insurance may help pay for preventive care such as exams, cleanings and X-rays, as well as fillings, extractions, crowns, root canals, dentures and other services. We’ll explain exactly what each plan covers before you enroll.

Many dental plans cover preventive services such as routine exams, cleanings and X-rays at little or no cost when you visit an in-network provider. The number of covered visits and your cost will depend on the plan.

Some do, but others offer immediate benefits with no waiting period. A plan may cover preventive care right away while requiring you to wait before receiving benefits for major services. We can compare both options based on how soon you need care.

Some plans include benefits for crowns, dentures, implants and other major dental services, but coverage limits, waiting periods and coinsurance can vary considerably. If you already know you need dental work, tell us so we can focus on plans designed for those services.
