Get more for your money with Adult Dental Premier
Our most popular dental plan, Adult Dental Premier has a Preventive Incentive to help you save money. This means that the amount your plan pays for routine exams, cleanings, and X-rays won’t be deducted from your annual maximum benefit, so you can use that money for other services. Here’s how it works:
| With Preventive Incentive | Without Preventive Incentive | |
|---|---|---|
| Annual benefit maximum | $2,000 | $2,000 |
| Amount plan pays for two exams, two cleanings, and one set of X-rays | $193 | $193 |
| Remaining annual benefit maximum |
$2,000 | $1,807 |
