Be aware that dental insurance typically comes with a number of strings attached. Most notably, dental insurance
plans almost always put a cap on the amount the insurance company will pay toward dental care each year -- typically
$1,000 - $2,500. Consumers undergoing significant dental treatment can easily max out their insurance benefits for
the year,
which leaves the consumer responsible for 100% of the dental fees that exceed the maximum.
Dental insurance rarely covers 100% of restorative dental services such as fillings, crowns, and periodontal care.
Even consumers with dental insurance should be prepared for significant out of pocket costs for all but the most basic
dental services. Learn more about payment methods for dental fees.
