Dental plans

There are two plan types: prepaid-dental health maintenance organization and the indemnity-preferred provider organization.

How to choose the best dental plan for you and your family.

When choosing between a prepaid DHMO plan and an indemnity PPO plan, you should consider the following: Dental history, level of dental care required, costs-budget and provider in the network.
