Everyday Care for Your Smile & Sight

Dental & Vision Plans

Dental and vision plans can make routine care more predictable while helping with larger services, eyewear, and contacts based on the benefits you choose.

How We Help

Find coverage with confidence

Coverage beyond major medical

Adult dental and vision benefits are not included in every health plan. Stand-alone coverage can fill that gap for individuals, families, and employees.

Compare more than the premium

We help you review provider networks, waiting periods, annual maximums, service categories, eyewear allowances, and how often benefits renew.

Routine Care, Better Prepared

Why Consider Dental and Vision Coverage?

Major medical insurance does not always include adult dental and vision benefits. A stand-alone plan can help make preventive care and common services easier to budget.

Dental Insurance

Protect your smile and your budget

Dental plans commonly organize covered care into preventive, basic, and major services. Depending on the plan, benefits may help with exams, cleanings, X-rays, fillings, extractions, crowns, root canals, dentures, and other eligible services.

  • Preventive care: Often includes routine exams, cleanings, and X-rays, subject to plan frequency rules.
  • Basic services: May include fillings, simple extractions, or other restorative care.
  • Major services: May help with crowns, bridges, dentures, implants, or root canals when covered.
  • Orthodontia: Available on some plans, often with separate limits and eligibility rules.

Vision Insurance

Support clear vision and routine eye care

Vision plans typically focus on routine eye exams and materials rather than treatment of medical eye conditions. Benefits may include an exam copay, frame or contact-lens allowance, and negotiated pricing through participating providers.

  • Routine eye exams: Helps monitor vision changes and update prescriptions.
  • Glasses: May provide an allowance for frames and benefits for lenses or lens options.
  • Contact lenses: Plans may offer an allowance instead of eyeglass benefits for the same period.
  • Network savings: Participating providers may offer lower negotiated prices or additional discounts.

Everyday Advantages

Benefits That Can Make Care More Manageable

Encourages Routine Care

Predictable benefits can make it easier to schedule regular exams and cleanings.

$

Helps Control Costs

Copays, allowances, negotiated rates, and plan benefits can reduce eligible out-of-pocket expenses.

Family Options

Individual, spouse, child, and family coverage may be available depending on the carrier.

Choice of Providers

Plans may offer broad networks, but checking your preferred dentist, optometrist, or optical retailer is essential.

Before You Choose

Compare the Details, Not Just the Premium

Provider network

Confirm that your preferred providers participate and check how out-of-network benefits work.

Waiting periods

Some adult dental plans delay coverage for basic or major services even while premiums are due.

Annual maximums

Dental policies often cap what the plan will pay during a benefit year. This differs from a medical out-of-pocket maximum.

Service frequency

Review how often exams, cleanings, X-rays, lenses, frames, or contacts are eligible.

Benefit percentages

Compare deductibles, copays, coinsurance, allowances, and the plan's share of each service category.

Exclusions and limits

Read rules for missing teeth, orthodontia, implants, cosmetic services, specialty lenses, and other limitations.

Adult and pediatric benefits work differently

Marketplace health plans must make pediatric dental coverage available and include pediatric vision benefits, but adult dental and vision are not essential health benefits. Adults may need a stand-alone plan when their medical coverage does not include these benefits.
