Dental Insurance
Individual & Family Dental Insurance — Standalone Plans for NY, NJ, PA & More
Dental coverage is one of the most overlooked gaps in healthcare planning — especially for seniors and retirees. Original Medicare does not cover routine dental care, and many people go without coverage simply because they don’t know where to start. As an independent insurance broker licensed in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and multiple other states, I offer standalone dental insurance plans through Delta Dental and Nationwide Dental — two of the most trusted names in dental coverage.
Why Standalone Dental Insurance Matters
Routine dental care is essential to your overall health — yet it remains one of the most common coverage gaps for individuals, families, and retirees alike. Without dental insurance even routine procedures can become costly:
- Routine cleaning and exam — $150 to $300 per visit
- Dental X-rays — $100 to $250
- Tooth filling — $150 to $300 per tooth
- Root canal — $700 to $1,500
- Dental implant — $3,000 to $5,000 per tooth
- Crown — $1,000 to $1,800
A standalone dental insurance plan protects you from these out-of-pocket costs while keeping your smile — and your health — in great shape.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Insurance
Does Medicare cover dental care?
Original Medicare (Parts A and B) does not cover routine dental care including cleanings, fillings, crowns, or dentures. This is one of the most significant gaps in Medicare coverage — which is why a standalone dental insurance plan is so important for Medicare beneficiaries.
Is there a waiting period before I can use my dental insurance?
The plans we offer have no waiting periods — meaning your coverage is effective immediately and you can use your benefits right away including for major services.
Can I keep my current dentist?
Yes — the plans we offer allow you to choose your own dentist. You are not restricted to a specific network of providers.
What is a lifetime deductible?
A lifetime deductible means you only pay your deductible once — ever. Once you have met it you never have to pay it again, unlike annual deductibles that reset every year.
Are dental implants covered?
Implant coverage is available on select plans through Delta Dental and Nationwide. I will help you identify which plan includes implant coverage if that is important to you.
