Overview
Dental plans typically cover preventive care such as cleanings and exams at little or no cost, then split costs on basic (fillings) and major (crowns, root canals) procedures. Coverage tiers, waiting periods, and annual maximums vary. A short consultation helps you compare options against the dental work you actually expect.

Common questions
What's the difference between marketplace and individual health insurance?
Marketplace plans are ACA-compliant and may qualify for premium tax credits based on income. Individual plans purchased outside the marketplace can offer different structures but don't include marketplace subsidies. We'll walk through which fits your household.
Is short term health coverage a good idea?
Short term coverage is best used as a bridge — between jobs, waiting for open enrollment, or covering a gap. It typically excludes pre-existing conditions and may not cover essential benefits. It shouldn't replace ACA coverage long-term.
Why would I need supplemental coverage?
Major medical plans often leave high deductibles, copays, or non-covered expenses. Supplemental coverage — accident, hospital indemnity, critical illness — pays cash benefits to help absorb those costs so a health event doesn't become a financial event.
