Which plan is right for me?

Selecting the best dental insurance plan can make a significant difference in managing your dental care costs. We offer two plans to meet different needs and preferences. 

The Premium plan offers more comprehensive coverage if you anticipate needing extensive dental work or orthodontics. This plan might be right for you if: 

  • You're comfortable paying a bit more each paycheck in exchange for more extensive coverage for major services and a higher annual maximum. 
  • You have a dependent who needs braces or other orthodontic treatments. 

The Core plan may be a good fit if you prefer lower premiums and need basic coverage. This plan is ideal if: 

  • You want to keep your dental insurance costs lower with more affordable premiums. 
  • You primarily need routine and preventive care coverage without extensive dental work or orthodontics.
