Like prescription drugs, these benefits are available as riders. Dental coverage pays for regular check-ups, and then a percentage on minor dental work, and about half for major dental work. But, beware if you are buying dental insurance for braces or other orthodontic work. Most dental plans do not cover these procedures in their plans. Vision care is usually covered as far a one pair of lenses and the eye exam. After that, you should recieve some kind of discount - generally 20-25%.

We do not have a vision or dental insurance plan; however there is a vision and dental discount plan available for $29 which offers discounts at area providers.

Eye or dental care or surgery needed because of accident or disease will be covered. The plan will not offer routine dental care. Starting in 2008, the plan covers an annual comprehensive vision screening without a deductible.

This provides eye exams for only a co-pay and discounts for vision products (glasses and lenses) and services (LASIK, laser surgery, and PKR).

If you don't have dental insurance and can't afford a a discount dental plan, there is still an alternative. If there is a dental school in your area, call them and ask if they have a clinic. Often orthodontists and dentists in training will practice on patients in the school clinic, under the watchful eye of experienced teachers who are themselves dentists and orthodontists. This service is offered to the public at a minimal cost.

You will need to consult with your dental office to verify if they can coordinate a discount plan with your current insurance.

Dental plan coverage for individuals is not commonly offered because dental needs are highly predictable. For example, you would not pay premiums for your dental coverage if the premiums were more expensive than the cost of the dental treatment you need. Since this is the case, insurance companies would stand to lose money (spend more on benefits than they receive in premiums) on every individual dental plan they write.
