Dental Insurance provides insurance coverage for eligible dental procedures. Plans generally cover routine procedures such as examinations, cleanings, fillings and more advanced procedures such as crowns and root canals.

In addition to “dental insurance”, individuals may also find dental coverage through Dental Plans, which are memberships whereby participating dental care providers have agreed to accept a discounted fee from plan members as payment-in-full for services performed.   Read more about Dental Insurance
