Figuring out the right type of dental coverage for you is important, because it is coverage you need for your dental health. It’s a challenge to find the right type of plan that provides affordability and sufficient coverage. Evaluating low-cost dental plans before actually choosing one is vital. You need to look around to get a feel for what’s available, before you actually choose any particular plan.

If you’re looking at low-cost dental plans, you’ll be looking at either traditional insurance plans with limited coverage, or dental discount plans. These are your two top options to find the most value in dental coverage. You want to get the right type of dental plan to obtain the best value and the most coverage. Low cost dental insurance plans and discount dental plans operate differently, which is why you have to understand what they offer before making a choice.

• •Annual family premiums may be as high as $1,600 (that’s over $130 per month)
• •Annual deductibles as high as $150
• •Co-insurance payments as high as 50% of the dentist’s charges (you are paying this cost with no reimbursement)
• •Annual maximum benefit of $1,000 per insured (when you really need coverage for high cost major care-this stops paying)

Now here is the secret that dental insurance companies do not want you to know.
Many individuals realize that they are better off putting the dental insurance premium dollars into a savings account and asking their dentist for a cash discount. Pay for your dental needs when and if you need work done and you will likely have savings at the end of the year still in your account. Most will have a considerable amount in savings after a five year period because they do not get a great deal of dental work done.
