What is PPO Dental Insurance?

PPO dental insurance is a type of dental insurance that allows you to see any licensed dentist of your choice. There are no referrals required and you do not have to select a Primary Care Dentist. You will pay less out-of-pocket costs if you visit a dentist who is in the PPO network.

PPO plans usually have an annual maximum benefit and may cover preventive care, basic services, and major services at different percentages.

Some PPO plans may also offer orthodontic coverage for children and adults.

PPO dental insurance vs. Dental HMO

what's the difference?

When it comes to dental insurance, there are two main types of plans: PPO and HMO. Both have their own benefits and drawbacks, so it’s important to understand the difference before selecting a plan.

A PPO, or Preferred Provider Organization, is a type of dental insurance that allows you to choose your own dentist from a network of participating providers. You’ll typically pay a higher premium for a PPO plan, but you’ll have more flexibility in terms of choosing your dentist. In addition, PPO plans often have no waiting period for certain services, so you can get treatment right away if you need it.

A Dental HMO, or Health Maintenance Organization, is a type of dental insurance that requires you to select a primary care dentist from a network of participating providers. You’ll usually pay a lower premium for an HMO plan, but you’ll have less flexibility in terms of choosing your dentist. In addition, HMO plans often have waiting periods for certain services, so you may need to wait awhile before you can get treatment.

Both PPO and HMO dental plans have their pros and cons, so it’s important to evaluate your needs before selecting a plan. If you value flexibility and choice
