View Plans from Multiple Insurers
One of the biggest advantages of using a site like DentalPlans.com is the ability to view and compare plans from multiple dental insurance companies. You want to see your dental plan options and compare across companies, and the ability to do it without looking at each insurer individually is very convenient.
Comparing plans across companies makes it easier to find an affordable dental insurance plan. Looking at the monthly premiums, out-of-pocket costs for dental visits and procedures, the deductible, and annual maximum are important when analyzing the full cost of dental insurance. You also need to evaluate the coverage offered and if certain types of dental procedures have a waiting period before your dental plan covers it. Preventive care typically has no waiting period.
Discount dental plans (dental savings plans) work differently from dental insurance plans. Rather than having cost-sharing for treatment, savings plans offer set discounted fees for dental work received from a network dentist.
If you're looking at dental discount plans, you'll want to look at the subscription fee and discounted rates for the dental services you'll likely need. You may be able to pay the subscription fee annually or monthly. Check the plan to see if there are participating dentists in your area. If you can't find a network dental office, a discount plan may not be a good fit.
Helpful Search Features
DentalPlans.com makes it easy to search plans by location, dentist, procedure, and savings. These search methods allow you to sort options by what matters most to you.
If you don't mind switching dentists and are more interested in savings, you can search by savings. If there's a specific procedure or service you need covered, you can search for plans that offer coverage for that particular service.
