How do discount dental plans compare with individual dental insurance?
Individual dental insurance plans have monthly premiums which range from approximately $200 to $600 per month, with annual deductibles between $500 to $1,500 (source: http://www.ehealthinsurance.com). Assuming twice a year checkups and one major procedure every three years, a discount dental plan would be 30% to 70% cheaper than purchasing individual dental insurance.
