Dental Savings Plans
Dental savings plans – sometimes called “dental discount plans” – are an affordable, flexible alternative to traditional dental insurance.

How Does Dental Insurance Work?
Dental insurance plans are intended to reduce the cost of dental care. Providers typically negotiate lower fees with in-network dentists, and also pay (“cover”) a percentage of the reduced fee. You pay the rest out of pocket. Here’s how the savings break down:
Preventive
Dental insurance plans typically cover 100% of the cost of preventive care, which includes annual checkups, bitewing x-rays, and routine cleanings.
Basic
Most insurance plans cover 80% of the cost of “basic,” uncomplicated services, such as fillings, simple extractions and some types of deep cleanings.
Major
Dental insurance typically covers 50% of treatments such as root canals, crowns, bridges and dentures.
Simple, right? Yes, but you also have to factor in waiting periods, copays, annual maximums, and your oral health needs.
