Question: Not too expensive because I will pay it myself.

Answer: The truth is no one dental insurance plan is the best for all... What would be best would depend on your own dental needs and what you would want from a dental insurance plan. Cost seems to be a factor for you so you may want to review dental HMO insurance plans. Since dental HMO’s plans are normally the more affordable plan type that can fit into tight budgets. I also like that all the dental services/benefits are normally based on a fee schedule. Laying out your cost for each dental service covered by the plan. This also help you maintain a budget since you know your cost before having any dental service render. Another benefit is that most dental HMO plans do not have any long term waiting periods before certain dental services are covered.

However what you are giving up is a wider selections of dental providers. In and HMO plan you have to choose a dentist within the plan network of providers. This may mean that you would have to change dental providers if the dentist you want to stay with is not a provider of any HMO dental insurance plans.

In that case you may want to review dental PPO insurance plans. Yet be very mindful of the fact that dental PPO plans will normally have waiting periods yearly maximum limitations and deductibles. They also tend to be more costly dental insurance plans. However these types of plan will not only have a net work of providers but will normally provide benefits for going to non providers or out of network provider giving you a broad range of dental offices to choose from.

My best suggestion is to take your time and read each plan fully if you have any questions call member services that selling the plan. Do not be afraid to call and ask questions that is what they are there for.
