Individual Dental Insurance Knowledge Base
what individual dental insurance is best? I just recently graduated college and I no longer have dental insurance through my parents insurance. Im in need of some dental insurance. My employer doesn't offer any insurance at all. Ive done some research and all I come up with is the Individual plans. I dont know what insurance would help me cover invisalign and teeth being pulled? Ive called about 10 places but they only give some type of discounts which only average %15. any help or useful information would be appreciated.
does individual dental insurance make dental work cheaper? i need to have 3 wisdom teeth removed, about 4 root canals 1 or 2 extractions and some filling. would individual dental insurance really help me save any money or am i better off financing through a dentist office and getting a discount plan? i went to a really bad dentist in the past and she only put temp fillings in, so that i would keep coming back for more dental work. needless to say i need the dental work and i dont plan on going back there

A good individual dental insurance plan? I don't have dental insurance, and my employer doesn't offer any. I seriously need to see a dentist, I haven't been to one since I last had insurance 4 years ago. But I can't afford much right now either.

By the way, I live in central PA.

individual dental insurance for braces? What is a good "individual" dental insurance if I were to get braces? I have done some research and nailed it down to DeltaCare and Pacificare. So which dental insurance is better, or any other suggestions? Pacificare cost slightly less than DeltaCare as far as co-payments go. Both are HMO plans, all the PPO plans covers little to nothing for braces, so HMO seems to be the only way to go for an individual plan. DeltaCare seems to be more reliable since it's associated with Delta Dental, a little more costly also. I'm more concerned about the "quality" of the services as far as making claims and such. So DeltaCare, Pacificare, or ay other dental insurance/plans? Any personal experience with either of these companies? I am in San Francisco, California.

I am looking for individual dental insurance other than Aetna DMO. I live in Northern Virginia. Thanks!? I am so dissatisfied with the dentists on the Aetna DMO network in Northern Virginia. I have been to so many and each one tells me a different story about my teeth and what needs to be done. I know I have 2 cavities that need to be taken care of asap. I also know that I would need a crown for each of them. The dentists so far have said I need to do '6 root canals', and another dentist says that I have 'half a dozen cavities but no root canals. Today the same dentist tells me I have only 3 cavities and nothing else. Two crowns became 3 crowns within the span of 2 weeks etc... Either these dentists can't read the xrays or they want to rip off the patients. I was told my gums are sensitive and I would need to treat them first before my cavities. I have no bleeding, no pain or any such symptoms that would show sensitive gums. I feel so misled. I want to know how much it would cost for me to buy individual dental insurance. Also if you know a dentist who is genuine, pls let me know tx
Anyone know of an affordable individual health/dental insurance plan for Brooklyn, NY? I no longer have school insurance and my work does not offer insurance. I am looking for an affordable health/dental insurance plan in Brooklyn, New York. Is dental included in medical insurance or is that separate? I don't want to spend $600-$1000 on a premium for an HMO, but would rather spend a few hundred a month while getting a decent amount of benefits. Also, does anyone know of a comparison chart online regarding details of insurance providers including premiums and benefits. All I can find are complaint comparison charts for insurance providers. Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Do you know of any good individual dental insurances with orthodontic coverage? My husband, son and I are currently under a dental insurance policy through his employer.

I know that it will only be a small percentage of ortho coverage but every little bit helps now a days. Thanks.
Individual Dental Insurance for NJ? I've been staring at dental insurance plans all day and finally it makes no sense anymore. I've enrolled in a discount plan but my dentist says I should get insurance for the procedures I'll be needing. I've only found one plan that seems to cover my area. Cost is not that big of an issue as more WHERE TO FIND IT. My job doesn't offer it. I'm an unmarried adult and I just need to purchase insurance (pref PPO) that will be effective as soon as possible.
Should I get a second dental insurance plan? I am a college student, and currently covered under my parents' dental plan. I need to get all of my wisdom teeth extracted, and I found out that I possibly also need 3 root canals. My insurance only covers $1500 per year. I don't want to put off this work, but I don't think I can afford this. Would getting my own individual dental insurance plan help? What plans are good, and what is a decent price/yr for an individual plan?
Looking for dental insurance with orthodontic coverage? Anyone know of any good individual dental insurance plans with orthodontics?

Individual dental insurance? I'm 22 years old and I'm looking for dental insurance. I've called a few places that I could find that offer dental insurance and either I do not qualify because of my age or dental insurance isn't available for my state. I'm in the State of NY. I called AARP--- they only deal with senior citizens. I called Delta Dental and they don't serve NY. I called MVPHealthCare.com, I forgot their reason but I think it was the same as Excellus reason (they don't offer it individually, I must go through an employer). I can't go through an employer cause I'm self-employed. I turned to EHealthCare.com but I have a feeling they are a scam. They claim to be a broker for several comapnies. When I run a quick quote on their site, it comes up with "Bay Dental" as the insurer, but they HAVE NO INFORMATION about bay dental to give me. I wanted to research the insurer first but I couldn't cause they didn't give me any info about them. ehealthinsurance.com gave me dentemax.com and claim they are something to do with bay dental, then they told me bay dental is underwritten by a comapny called "Standard Security Life" and i can't find any company by that name. The only one I found was Standard Security Life of NY but they are a completely different company. There is a company called bay dental but it's in california and they are a dentist office. So, i'm completely lost. I'm eligible for bay dental pan thruogh ehealthinsurance.com but i'm scared to sign up because i don't know if bay dental plan is a true company or if ehealthinsurance.com is a complete scam. The weird thing is this. Ehealthinsurance.com said that I must pay them in full with a credit card for their bay dental plan or they can deduct it each month but i have to give them a bank account. They won't charge my credit card monthly for the plan. Instead they want my bank account # to charge it monthly. They will only use my credit card if i want to pay it in full. DO YOU KNOW anyone who offers dental insurance for the state of NY? I"m not looking for a dental plan where I'm limited to the company's dentist office. I have my own dentist I go to and i want some type of insurance to go to my dentist of choice.

I'm looking for a good individual dental insurance plan...? A dental insurance plan that will cover 100% of basic trips to the dentist office (check- up, cleaning, filling, etc.) I lost my job 8 months ago and have been without any insurance. I called my dentist office to ask what they thought was a good insurance plan and I learned a lot on what to watch out for on some of the plans out there. I have had the same dentist for 10 yrs. and would like to stay with them, but I guess a lot of the individual plans have only set dentists you can go to. Does anyone know of a great plan that would be good for me to check into?
I need individual dental insurance? I am self employed and pay for my own insurance. I go through Carefirst Blue Choice, however, their plan only offers the dental network plan, which allows me to receive a discount when I go to the dentist. I need actual dental insurance so I don't have to spend $600 every time I need a filling or $1500 every time I need a root canal (I have a condition with my teeth that causes me to get these often). What can I do? I've been doing research, but not having any luck. Any Dentist's out there have good advice?
Individual health/dental insurance...? I am 20 years old and on my step-father's insurance plan. However, he seems to change jobs every 6 months so I CONSTANTLY either a) have no current insurance, or b) am in a waiting period so I cannot receive services. I know nothing about insurance but would it be reasonable for me to get on an individual plan for myself? Although that's not what I would like to do ideally, I'm sick of not being able to go to the doctor or get yearly dental cleanings. I also need to go to an Orthodontist which I know often isn't covered by insurance, but I could deal with that when the time comes. I'm a student and I don't have a job with benefits so what exactly would be the best option to look into?
Any suggestions on a dental plan or individual health insurance pIan? I live in Texas, I'm 26, homemaker. I need to see the dentist desperately and after calling around, I realize it's going to get pretty expensive. I would also like to see an orthodontist & any other "general" benefits that I could get, I would definitely use. Any suggestions? I'm in pain!
Individual PPO Dental Insurance with No Waiting Period? Does anyone know any individual dental insurance with a PPO plan and has NO waiting period? I live in the state of California.

And I've already try tons of other dental insurance (Metlife, Safeguard, etc) and they all have HMO plans or doesn't provide individual dental insurnace. Btw, I want dental insurance, NOT dental plans (discounted plans). I already know where I want to go to get the dental work done.

What Dental Insurance Provides The Most Coverage and Is It Worth It? I am 25 and a Veteran of the Iraq War. Before I left for Iraq, I had dental insurance with my mom's work and I was getting a lot of work done. Half way through it I got called over seas to Iraq. I have been back for about a year now and need to finish up a lot of that work and get a little more done. Army wont cover it and I'm not rich. I would like to get it all done soon. And I don't mind paying for it. However I have tried detal loan companies like carecredit.com and due to my low/bad credit, I do not qualify. I refuse to go to a college or school to get this work done. And I do not have Dental Insurance at this time. Most Insurance Plans have a minimum waiting period of 6 months for any major dental work or will not cover any of the previous work that has been started. I have talked to most major individual dental plans and they all sey the same thing or will only cover $1,000. I need a few crowns, a bunch of fillings, a dental implant and a little more. HELP!
What can freelancers do for individual health insurance? I have my own little freelance job that I do for cash. I'm not married and not a student, so I find myself without any medical or dental coverage. I'm just looking for coverage for gynological care (once per year), maybe a regular check-up (once per year), and prescription coverage if possible. And, if I'm really lucky, I'd like dental to be able to have a cleaning every 6 months. I've tried looking online but I don't know what or where most of the "insurance companies" are and if they are real or even trustworthy. I am not a registered business nor do I make loads of cash, but I do not want to go on welfare of any sort. Does anyone have any advice for me? Thanks!

Is it normal to have this much in dental expenses at 23? For 6 years I have been always trying to keep my teeth clean as possible. I have had a dental insurance that offered me 2000$ benefit per year and was under my parents. The coverage was 50%-80% of the procedure and each year I maxed out the insurance. I have had 4 crowns, 2 root canals, and over 15 fillings done in 6+ years. I think that probably now I would not qualify for any dental insurance individual plan as they would not accept me at all.
I need a good individual dental plan for my family!? I need to find a good dental insurance plan for me and my family. It needs to cover 100% of basic dental work (like fillings, cleaning, etc.).
