Dental & Vision Questions

Can I get dental and vision insurance outside of my employer?

Yes. Standalone dental and vision insurance plans are available for individuals and families outside of employer benefits. These plans are available year-round (not just during open enrollment) and can be purchased directly from insurance carriers or through licensed brokers. Individual dental plans typically cost $15-$50 per month; vision plans typically cost $10-$20 per month.

What does individual dental insurance cover?

Individual dental insurance typically covers: preventive care (cleanings, X-rays) at 100%, basic restorative care (fillings) at 70-80%, and major restorative care (crowns, bridges, dentures) at 50%. Most plans have an annual maximum benefit of $1,000-$2,000 and a waiting period of 6-12 months for major services. Orthodontics (braces) may be covered on some plans, typically at 50% up to a lifetime maximum.

Is dental insurance worth it?

For most people, yes - especially if you need more than basic preventive care. A single crown costs $1,000-$1,700 without insurance. A root canal costs $700-$1,500. Even with a $50/month premium ($600/year), dental insurance typically pays for itself with one major procedure. The real value is in making dental care affordable so you don't delay treatment - which always makes problems worse and more expensive.
