What are the differences between dental insurance plans vs. dental discount plans?
Dental discount plans are like using a coupon. It only gives you a certain amount off of certain treatments, and you are limited to the places you can use those dental discount plans. Dental insurance plans may cover cleanings and any preventive care at 100% without a deductible.
What are the waiting periods and why are there waiting periods on dental insurance plans?
There is a six-month waiting period for basic services and a 12-month waiting period for major services. If you were to have a crown, for example, you would have a 12-month waiting period, whereas a simple filling would only have a six-month waiting period. Waiting periods are lengths of time for your policy to be in force before your benefits begin. Many insurance plans enforce some waiting periods, even dental insurance plans. Plans have no waiting periods on preventive services such as cleanings and sealants.
