<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>Dental insurance gives people coverage to help pay for certain types of dental work. Having this coverage is the best way to prepare for any unexpected dental problems that might arise. Each month, people will pay a set dollar amount, called a premium, to pay for coverage. The monthly premium will depend on the insurance company, the location, and the chosen plan. Depending on the insurance plan, it can cover some or even all of the costs of certain dental treatments.</p>
<p>In many cases, the dentist's office will bill the insurance plan directly for care provided, and the patient will only need to pay a copay for each visit or treatment. A dentist <a title="Read more about Dental Health Insurance" href="https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/guide/dental-health-insurance#2" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Dental-Insurance">can not answer questions about a specific dental insurance plan</a> or predict what level of coverage for a particular procedure will be. People should contact their employer's benefits department, dental insurance plan, or the third-party payer of a health plan for any questions about coverage.</p>

<a name="Factors-Should-Consider-When-Choosing-Dental-Insurance-Plan"></A>
<h2 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">Finding the Right Dental Plan</h2>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>When selecting a dental insurance plan, people should consider several factors to find a plan that best suits their needs. The first step to finding the right dental plan involves evaluating needs. Young, single adults with good dental health and no family history of oral problems will have different dental insurance needs than a family with a parent who has a family history of gum disease. The likelihood of more frequent visits to the dentist and more extensive treatments indicates the need for a more comprehensive dental insurance policy. Making a generalized list of dental and oral health needs can serve as a good benchmark for evaluating policies and anticipating overall costs.</p>
<p>It is also important to understand the different types of dental insurance plans since each will have varying out-of-pocket costs, benefits, deductibles, and more. Typically dental plans are divided into Preferred Provider Organizations (PPO), Dental Health Maintenance Organization (DHMO), discount dental plans (DDP), and Managed Fee-for-Service Plans. Once people determine the available plans, they should also consider their budget and the covered procedures, waiting periods, and annual limits. Taking the time to evaluate dental needs, budget, and anticipated level of care can make choosing the right dental plan easier.</p>

<h2 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">Coverage Under Dental Plans</h2>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>It is important to know what each type of dental insurance plan covers and does not cover. If an issue does arise, dental insurance will usually help cover a portion of the treatment cost, so people do not have to pay the full bill by themselves. Carefully review each potential insurance policy to budget for expected and possible emergency dental expenses.</p>
<p>Preventative dental care is usually 100% covered since it catches signs and symptoms of dental disease early and reduces the chance that a patient will need more complex treatment later. This will cover routine preventive and diagnostic care, such as cleanings and exams. Most plans have limits of coverage. Not all dental plans include coverage for orthodontic services, so people should carefully read the details of their plan. If unsure whether dental insurance covers preventative dental care or orthodontic services, people should call their provider to learn more about the plan details.</p>

<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is a comprehensive healthcare reform intended to extend health insurance coverage to millions of uninsured Americans by legally requiring them to buy health insurance.

<p>People can get dental coverage either as part of a health plan or by themselves through a separate, stand-alone dental plan. People interested in enrolling should create an account and apply for a plan during open enrollment.

<h2 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">Dental Insurance Fees</h2>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>Like health insurance plans in the United States, dental insurance plans come with costs, such as deductibles and copays. A deductible is a minimum amount that a person must pay before the insurance policy pays for anything. The deductible will vary depending on the type of dental insurance. Once the patient pays the deductible, their insurance plan will pay for the remaining costs.</p>
<p>Patients may also have to pay a preset amount, called a co-pay, before receiving a service or treatment covered by your insurance provider. The co-pay is usually due to the dentist at the time of the service. People will have to pay it even after they reach their deductible.</p>

<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Oral health plays an important role in overall health. Like healthcare, dental care can be costly, particularly with procedures required beyond the bi-annual check-up. Dental insurance provides peace of mind that procedures will be covered without causing financial hardship.</span></p>

<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">Who needs dental insurance?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Everyone should consider dental insurance. Dental insurance can help lower the costs of maintaining a healthy mouth. It can help everyone by preventing oral health problems before they start.</span></p>

<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">What is Preferred Provider Organizations (PPO) insurance?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">A PPO plan is regular indemnity insurance combined with a network of dentists under contract with the insurance company to deliver services for set fees. Patients with PPOs must select a dentist from a network of preferred dental providers. Non-contracted dentists who are not in the insurance network may have higher or lower fees than the plan allows.</span></p>

<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">What is Dental Health Maintenance Organization (DHMO) insurance?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">A DHMO plan is a type of "managed care" insurance. With DMHOs, a network of qualified dentists provide comprehensive and affordable care for dental patients.

<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Discount dental plans (DDPs) are not traditional insurance plans. Patients pay the cost of treatment at the contracted rate determined by the plan. No dental claim forms are filed after receiving services. Members of DDPs make monthly or annual payments and may receive unlimited dental care from dentists who participate in the dental network, at discount prices based on a set fee schedule.</span></p>
