When Buying A PPO Dental Insurance Plan Forward Thinking is Needed

Thursday, Jul. 23rd 2015 8:19 AM

Dental PPO plans are a great way to be able to stay with or choose your own dentist.  They will normally provide benefits for both in network providers as well as out of network providers.  However it is important to think a head when buying dental PPO plans as they often come with limitations such as waiting periods.

Dental PPO insurance plans are not the type of insurance plans you would buy at the time of any larger dental issues.  Waiting for larger dental care needs before buying dental insurance is not to your advantage with a dental PPO plan due to their waiting periods.  Many PPO plans have waiting periods up to six months for basic services such as a filling and up to twelve months for major services such as a crown. Therefore if staying with your current family dentist is important to you,  think about getting a dental PPO plan now in order to maintain your current preventive needs and burn down any long term waiting periods before larger dental needs arrive
