Dental insurance helps you get the professional care you need to maintain your oral health, including regular teeth cleanings, fluoride and sealant treatments, and other types of preventive and restorative care. Routine brushing and flossing at home is a great place to start, but care from dental professionals is critical to achieving and maintaining a healthy smile and better overall health. 

When shopping for dental insurance there are a number of factors to consider in order to choose the best plan for you and your family. First, evaluate your individual needs and understand your budget. Then, take a look at the different kinds of dental plans available in your area and what’s covered in each plan. You will also want to look at network size and applicable restrictions.

There are many factors to consider when choosing a dental plan, and one size does not fit all. Consider and try to anticipate the specific coverage needs of each member of your family and evaluate which plan is financially feasible by looking at things like annual maximums and deductibles, along with the type of services that are covered, to ensure that you will receive the level of care your family needs. 

Deep Dental encourages prevention, so generally, services like cleanings, x-rays, and exams are covered from day one. Some services such as fillings, crowns, or bridges may have a waiting period depending on your dental plan. Please review the details of your plan or contact our customer service team for specific information. 

For cosmetic dental procedures like teeth whitening, coverage is usually not provided by employer plans and is rarely provided by any type of dental insurance.
