What Is a PPO Dental Plan and How Does It Work?

what is a ppo dental plan

A PPO dental plan is a type of dental insurance that gives members access to a network of dentists while still allowing care outside the network in many cases. Members usually save the most by seeing in-network dentists because negotiated fees and plan payments are typically better in network than out of network.

Most PPO dental plans include a deductible, an annual maximum, and cost-sharing rules that vary by service type. Preventive care is often covered at the highest level, basic services like fillings may be covered at a mid-level, and major services like crowns or root canals are often covered at a lower percentage.

A PPO is usually a good fit for people who want flexibility, already have a preferred dentist, or may need specialist access without being locked into one office. Smart Health Dental states that its insurance plans give members access to the Renaissance PPO network, which it says combines national and regional PPO networks to expand dentist choice.
