Which is better dental insurance or dental plan?
Dental insurance is a typical insurance. You pay a monthly premium then when you visit the dentist you pay a copay and your insurance pays the balance. With a Dental plan you pay the bill but get a very discounted price, up to 80%. At the time of your dental visit the insurance will cost you less but a dental plan does have several advantages 1. Where dental insurance for a family can cost over $100 a month there are dental plans that will include the same family for less than $20 a month. 2. Dental insurance has limits on the annual benefit (usually around $1000) After that point you pay 100% out of your own pocket. A dental plan will never run out and you will get the same discount regaurdless of how high the bill gets. 3. If you need immediate care dental insurance has a waiting period where a dental plan does not.

What is dental insurance?
Dental insurance, like most insurance is a plan where you pay a monthly premium and when you need dental care the insurance makes payment so you don't have to pay such a large amount to the dentist.This is a good thing to have but dental insurance does have flaws.1. Limits on the annual benefit: Dental insurance puts a limit on the annual benefit (Usually around $1,000). After that you have to pay 100% out of your own pocket.This is a problem because dental care can easily run over $1,000 so just as you really need insurance it stops working.2. Only covers treatments considered "Medically Necessary":This means that anything cosmetic isn't covered.3. Waiting period: There is a waiting period so you can't wait until you need a dentist to get coverage and see the dentist.

You may find several businesses that will offer denture repair services, but always be cautious on those who offer a low priced denture repairs as they may not be using quality materials to repair your dentures. If quality materials are not used, you might be better off to repair dentures yourself as if poor quality materials are used to repair your dentures will eventually end up with a broken denture again. Lastly, the best kind of place you can find is if there are dentists involved with the repair of your dentures as they can find the right solution for all kinds of denture repairs quickly and that is also cost effective.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is an artificial tooth. The actual implant is a small metallic (Titanium) screw, that substitutes for the natural tooth root. It is inserted surgically into the jawbone, & it provides a stable base upon which a cap, bridge or denture can be anchored. But unlike dentures, dental implants may be fixed, feeling and acting more like your own natural teeth.
Are there any health insurance companies that cover dental implants since dental insurance considers it a cosmetic procedure?
To find companies in your state that provide dental insurance or dental discount plans, go to the National Association of Dental Plans site (www.nadp.org) which has a directory of companies that offer dental insurance. The directory can be searched by state and you can select "individual" and get the list of just those companies that provide individual dental insurance in your state. The listing also tells you if the company provides dental HMO, dental PPO, dental indemnity (traditional insurance without a network) or a discount plan (not insurance but a discount off the dentist's fees who are part of the discount network).* Unlike most dental procedures, you can expect to pay 100% of the cost of a cosmetic procedure out of your own pocket. Your dental insurance company will typically not pay for purely cosmetic procedures. Usually, insurance only covers the costs of procedures required for a functional purpose. In cases where there is both a functional and cosmetic need for a procedure, e.g. crowns that protect and improve the appearance of your teeth, and insurance companies typically only covers the amount required to protect the tooth. * Your best bet it to shop around for the best prices for implants. * Actually, more dental plans are adding coverage for implants as an alternate to a bridge or for a single tooth space. A 2008 report by the National Association of Dental Plans found that most Dental PPO and Dental Indemnity Plans of the reporting companies either include implants in standard coverage or offer it as an added benefit. Health insurance companies generally do not provide coverage of dental procedures except for oral surgery that results from an accident or injury.

Will auto ins cover dental damages?
There is no exclusion for dental. The question is just as simple as if there is coverage for medical or not. Remember, the standard insurance policy only pays for damage to the other party.
