Affordable dental coverage for preventive care, restorative procedures, and orthodontics. We compare plans across carriers and recommend only what truly fits — no jargon, no pressure, no cost to you.
Your Mouth Is the Front Door
to Your Health.
Regular dental care is essential for overall health. Studies show oral health is directly linked to heart health, diabetes management, and overall wellness. Dental insurance helps you keep up with regular checkups and catch problems early — before they become expensive emergencies.
Without coverage, a single root canal can cost $1,000+ and a crown can run $1,500+. The right plan keeps those costs manageable while encouraging the preventive care that saves you money long-term.
…a small monthly premium beats a big surprise bill.
The 100 – 80 – 50 of Dental Plans.
Most dental plans group care into tiers. Here's how the math typically works — and where orthodontics fits in.
Preventive Care
Routine cleanings, exams, X-rays, and fluoride treatments — typically covered at 100% with most plans.
Basic Procedures
Fillings, simple extractions, and periodontal treatments — usually covered at 70–80% after your deductible.
Major Procedures
Crowns, bridges, dentures, root canals, and oral surgery — typically covered at 50% after deductible.
Orthodontics
Braces and aligners for children and adults — available on select plans with lifetime maximums.

Dental Insurance, Decoded.
What does dental insurance typically cover?
Most plans follow a 100 – 80 – 50 structure: preventive care (cleanings, exams, X-rays, fluoride) at 100%; basic procedures (fillings, simple extractions, periodontal treatments) at roughly 70–80% after deductible; and major procedures (crowns, bridges, dentures, root canals, oral surgery) at about 50% after deductible. Typical benefits include two cleanings per year, annual exams and X-rays, fillings and extractions, crowns and bridges, root canal therapy, and dentures or implants on select plans.
How much does dental work cost without insurance?
Without coverage, a single root canal can cost $1,000+ and a crown can run $1,500+. With a plan, a $200 cleaning is often $0, a $250 filling drops to roughly $50–75, a $1,500 crown to about $500–750, and a $1,000 root canal to roughly $300–500.
Does dental insurance cover braces and orthodontics?
Orthodontic coverage — braces and aligners for children and adults — is available on select plans, usually subject to lifetime maximums. We can help you compare plans that include orthodontic benefits.
Does Medicare cover dental care?
Original Medicare doesn't cover routine dental care. Medicare beneficiaries can get dental coverage through many Medicare Advantage plans or by adding a standalone dental plan — we help you compare both at no cost.
