What is the maximum coverage for dental insurance?
Maximum dental insurance coverage varies by plan, but our HealthSpring PPO plans offer up to $5,000 in annual coverage for dental procedures. This maximum covers preventive care (100% covered), basic procedures like fillings and extractions, and major procedures including crowns, bridges, root canals, and dentures. Some plans may have higher or lower annual maximums depending on your selected coverage level and premium.
What is high PPO vs low PPO dental?
High PPO dental plans typically offer higher annual maximums (like our $5,000 plans), lower out-of-pocket costs, broader coverage for major procedures, and larger provider networks. Low PPO plans usually have lower premiums but come with reduced annual maximums, higher co-pays, and may limit coverage for major dental work. High PPO plans are ideal if you anticipate needing significant dental work, while low PPO plans work well for those primarily needing preventive care.
Are there waiting periods for PPO dental coverage?
No, our Maximum Care PPO dental plans have zero waiting periods. Your preventive care benefits (cleanings, exams, X-rays) are available at 100% coverage from day one. Basic and major procedures are also covered immediately upon enrollment, unlike traditional plans that may impose 6-12 month waiting periods for major work.
How much does PPO dental insurance cost per month?
PPO dental insurance premiums vary based on coverage level, location, age, and whether you choose individual or family coverage. Many of our clients find affordable options, and some plans include $0 deductible features.

Can I keep my current dentist with a PPO plan?
PPO plans offer the most flexibility for choosing your dentist. With access to our nationwide network of 85,000+ dentists, your current provider likely participates. Even if they don't, PPO plans typically allow you to see out-of-network dentists, though you'll receive maximum benefits when using in-network providers. We can verify your dentist's network status during consultation.
What dental procedures are covered under PPO insurance?
Our PPO plans cover a comprehensive range of procedures: preventive care (exams, cleanings, X-rays) at 100%, basic procedures (fillings, extractions, deep cleanings), and major procedures (crowns, root canals, bridges, dentures, gum surgeries). Some plans also include emergency dental coverage for accidents. Specific coverage percentages vary by plan and procedure type.
Is there a contract or can I cancel anytime?
Our PPO dental plans operate on flexible month-to-month terms with no long-term contracts required. You have the freedom to adjust or cancel your coverage as your needs change, without penalties or cancellation fees. This flexibility ensures you're never locked into coverage that no longer serves your situation.
How quickly can I get enrolled and start using my benefits?
Enrollment is fast and straightforward with guidance from our licensed advisors. Most clients complete enrollment within 24-48 hours and can begin using their benefits immediately—there are no waiting periods. You can schedule your first dental appointment as soon as your coverage is active, with preventive services covered at 100% from day one.
