What Is Dental Insurance?

Dental insurance helps reduce the cost of maintaining your oral health — from routine cleanings to major procedures like crowns or root canals. 

Most dental plans include: 

  • Preventive care (e.g., cleanings, exams, X-rays) 
  • Basic procedures (e.g., fillings, simple extractions)  
  • Major treatments (e.g., crowns, root canals, dentures) 

Many plans cover preventive care at 100%, which encourages routine care and early treatment. Without coverage, dental bills can quickly add up.

Types of Dental Insurance Plans

When comparing dental insurance, most plans fall into two main types: DHMO and DPPO. Each plan offers different levels of flexibility, cost, and dentist access — and understanding the difference can save you money in the long run.

DHMO (Dental Health Maintenance Organization)

If budget is your top priority and you don’t mind staying in-network, a DHMO can offer unbeatable value.

DPPO (Dental Preferred Provider Organization)

If you want more dentist options or expect to need specialist care, a DPPO gives you the flexibility without giving up coverage.

What Does Dental Insurance Cover?

Dental insurance typically breaks down coverage into three main categories. Understanding what’s included in each helps you choose the right plan — and avoid surprise bills.

What Does Dental Insurance Cover?

Dental insurance typically breaks down coverage into three main categories. Understanding what’s included in each helps you choose the right plan — and avoid surprise bills.

Preventive Care – Usually Covered at 100%

Routine preventive services help detect problems early and save you money long term. 

 Most plans cover preventive care fully with no deductible. 

Basic Services – Often Covered 70–80% After Deductible

These are minor procedures that treat common dental issues. 

Some plans have no waiting period for basic services — but check plan details.

Major Services – Typically Covered 50% After Deductible & Waiting Period

These higher-cost treatments usually require a waiting period (often 6–12 months). 

Waiting periods can vary by carrier — some plans may waive them with prior coverage. 

Pediatric Dental Coverage (For Children Under 19)

Most dental plans include pediatric coverage as part of ACA requirements. These benefits often cover:

Many children’s dental needs are fully covered, especially when enrolled through family or Covered California plans. Coverage levels vary by carrier — we’ll help you compare.
