Dental insurance works a little differently than most health insurance. To ensure that dental insurance costs are worth it, we recommend finding an affordable plan that works with your oral health goals.
The average cost of a dental bridge on one tooth is $2,500. Having some type of low-cost dental insurance plan can dramatically reduce that cost. Typically, dental insurance premiums can range from $25-$50 per month. Your dental insurance will usually have an annual maximum and once that threshold is met, you may need to pay out-of-pocket expenses.
The dental insurance price depends on a variety of factors, like what you want your annual maximum to be, your group’s situs state, and your coverage aims. We recommend you chat with an Aflac agent to determine what your average dental insurance cost per month might look like.
Even the most affordable dental insurance plans usually consist of 4 main factors:
The deductible is an amount of money that must be paid before any dental insurance benefits kick in. Not all plans require a deductible, but most PPO’s do.
A copay is the amount of money the insurance company requires you to pay for part of a specific service. Once that portion of the service is paid for, the insurance benefits can kick in.
Coinsurance is the part of dental insurance that breaks down what percent is paid for by you and what part is paid for by insurance. This is typically broken down into percentages.
The annual maximum is an agreed upon amount that your dental insurance provider is willing to pay for services each year. There are some dental insurance plans with no annual maximum.
Depending on how each of these factors are broken down, you can keep your dental insurance cost-per-month relatively low.
Aflac has two low-cost dental insurance options to choose from, PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) and MAC (Maximum Allowable Charge).
PPO dental insurance plans are known for providing more flexibility when choosing a dentist. More coverage may be provided for in network doctors, but lower rates still may exist for out of network physicians as well. There is usually a deductible portion in PPO plans.
MAC dental insurance plans establish what portion of each treatment will be covered up front. This can be broken down into percentages or pre-determined numbers. For example, a MAC plan may agree to pay for 75% of services, regardless of the cost or they may agree to pay a maximum amount for that service.
