Key Takeaways

  • Affordable dental insurance plans can help lower your out-of-pocket costs for preventive care, basic treatments and major procedures.
  • Monthly premiums typically range from $20 to $50, though your total costs depend on your plan's deductible, copayments, coinsurance and annual maximums.2
  • Aflac offers many affordable dental insurance options for individuals and families to help you manage dental expenses, including network plans and supplemental coverage.

What is affordable dental insurance?

Affordable dental insurance plans come with budget-friendly monthly premiums that help lower your out-of-pocket costs for dental care. Depending on the plan you choose, you can receive coverage for a wide range of services, from basic checkups to more complex procedures.

Affordable full coverage dental insurance may offer:

  • Preventive care, such as routine exams, cleanings and X-rays.
  • Basic services, like fillings and simple extractions.
  • Major procedures, such as crowns, bridges and oral surgery.

"Full coverage" dental insurance doesn’t cover the full cost of all of your treatments. Instead, these plans offer benefits for a broad range of services with varying coverage levels.

At Aflac, our network dental insurance can help cover preventive, basic and major services. We also offer supplemental dental insurance that works alongside your primary dental plan. Rather than paying providers directly, these plans give you cash benefits to use toward eligible dental expenses that your primary plan doesn't cover in full.

How much does dental insurance cost?

To receive dental insurance coverage, you must pay your plan's monthly premiums. Affordable dental insurance plans typically have budget-friendly premiums that range from $20 to $50.2

Some other factors that may influence your insurance costs include your plan's:3

  • Deductibles: The amount you must pay out of pocket before your insurance begins to cover services
  • Copayment: A fixed amount you'll pay for certain treatments
  • Coinsurance: The percentage of a service you pay after meeting your deductible
  • Annual maximum: The total amount your plan pays for covered services each year
  • Waiting period: The amount of time you may need to wait before receiving coverage for certain services
  • Network requirements: Whether you need to visit dentists within a specific network to receive coverage

Reviewing these factors can help you choose an affordable dental insurance plan that fits your budget and offers the appropriate level of coverage.
