What it covers
Dental plans typically cover preventive, basic, and major services on a tiered basis, plus an annual maximum benefit.
- Preventive: cleanings, exams, and X-rays
- Basic: fillings, extractions, and periodontal care
- Major: crowns, bridges, root canals, and dentures
- Orthodontia (some plans, some with age limits)
