Individual Dental Insurance
A nice smile can go a long way, but it doesn’t come cheap. Dental insurance is also an important part of a complete insurance plan.
We're pleased to now offer the Ameritas dental insurance plan. This is the same exact plan we offer to companies to cover their employees and is the plan we recommend without hesitation. We like it the best of all the options, but it is more expensive than the others because it is insurance, NOT just a discount plan.

*If you are having trouble viewing the Ameritas file either print it out or use the magnifying icon in Adobe Acrobat to zoom in. All of the details of the plan including the rates and the directions and application to apply are in the file and here for you!
We now have more plans than any other site. We recommend FIRST looking at the Ameritas plan to see if it suits your needs (everything you need is in the downloadable brochure). If your state is not listed in the above brochure then download AMERITAS brochure 2 (click here). Then take a look at the Careington plan. The Careington plan does cover over 5 million people. Finally if those two don't work for you check out our search engine which combines more than 30 plans in one place from companies like Aetna, GE, Unicare and many many more.. You can buy them online now. These can be cancelled at any time, so just try it you might like it. And, be sure to use dental plans coupon code : 'PICKLE' to get 12% off and 3 months free inside our search engine**. We're also really big fans of the Aetna discount plan. With Aetna you get a really good caliber dentist AND you may find for the ~$100 per year cost coupled with the discounts that you'd spend less than if you paid the additional cost for the insurance .
Everyone always calls and asks "how much," well the rates are in the brochure, but if you want an idea it's about $35 per indiviudal and $100 for a family per month. Of course it completely depends on where you live, so just take a peak in the brochure.
You will see three different plans from Ameritas Dental Insurance in the brochure, but we recommend the "Access Plan." You can view the Ameritas dentists that accept the plan at www.AmeritasGroup.com (look under the "PPO-Nationwide" on that site). You won't find any information about this plan on that site though. That is in the brochure above. if your dentist isn't in the plan they may be willing to join. Be sure to tell them it's NOT a discount plan.
If your dentist isn't in the plan and you are unwilling to switch, then you should consider the "Progressive Plan." You can see ANY DENTIST with the Progressive Plan. You'll notice there are waiting periods for certain types of coverage and that's just to keep someone from getting the plan, getting a root canal and then canceling it. During the waiting period, however, you do still receive the network negotiated prices assuming you're using network doctors. So in essence the Access Plan works like a discount plan during the waiting periods until the insurance benefits kick in. Can't emphasize enough that this is the same plan we sell to companies for their employees....it's good stuff.
The difference between insurance and a discount plan is that discount plans take on no risk because they are not making any payment to you or the provider for services. They have negoatiated with certain dentists for lower rates for you. Insurance on the other hand shares your incurred expenses and does make a payment for covered services to the dentist. If you have a root canal that needs to be done...yesterday...sign up for the Ameritas plan and then also sign up for one of the discount plans above. Once full coverage kicks in on the Ameritas plan just discontinue the discount plan. If you're self-employed they're both tax-deductible anyway....right?
If you get confused just give us a call

**10% is immediate and 2% is a rebate for a total of 12% -- Your plan MUST be purchased through our site to get the discounts AND you must click the "leave us a message" up and to the left after your purchase to claim the extra discount (e-mail your name and what plan you purchased) You have 2 months from time of purchase to claim additional discount.
