Well first is to have a understand what are the different types of dental plan I will go over the two main ones that people tend to get.
PPO
A PPO dental insurance plan will provide you with more freedom to choose your dentist than an HMO dental plan. You will be able to seek dental services from a wider selection of dentists and may visit any dentist or specialist within the PPO network.
With a PPO dental insurance plan you will usually have a deductible and a coinsurance amount. In some cases, PPO dental plans will give you an option to seek dental treatment outside of the directory of dentists.
If your PPO dental plan provides this option, you will most likely be required to pay a higher coinsurance and your maximum payable benefits amount may also be greatly reduced for treatments outside of the network.
With many PPO’s plan they have waiting periods for basic and major dental services and yearly dollar max limitation on how much the plan is going to pay out per person per year
HMO
These insurance plans, also known as “capitation plans,” operate like their medical HMO cousins. This type of dental plan provides a comprehensive dental care to enrolled patients through designated provider office (dentist). A Dental Health Maintenance Organization (DHMO) is a common example of a capitation plan.
