Supplemental dental insurance helps you pay for dental expenses your primary dental or health plan may not cover.

Supplemental dental insurance FAQs
Supplemental dental insurance may be a good fit if your current plan has limited coverage, or if you expect your dental care needs may result in higher out-of-pocket expenses.
Supplemental dental coverage varies by plan, but it often includes preventive care, basic services and certain major procedures, like crowns or restorative treatments.
Traditional plans typically pay dental providers directly and often come with network restrictions. In contrast, supplemental dental insurance gives you cash benefits to apply toward eligible dental expenses and allows you to visit the dentist of your choice.
If you need help managing dental costs and want more flexibility in how you use your benefits, supplemental dental insurance may be a worthwhile option. This type of coverage can reduce your out-of-pocket costs and help you afford the dental care you need to maintain your oral health and smile.
When comparing supplemental dental insurance plans, pay close attention to the following policy details:
Covered services: Some plans may only cover preventive, while others may also cover basic and major procedures.
Provider flexibility: Check whether you can visit your preferred dentist without network restrictions.
Benefit amounts: Review how much the plan pays for different services.
Costs: Compare each plan’s premiums and potential out-of-pocket expenses.
Waiting periods: See if there are any delays before your benefits become available.
Coordination with other coverage: Make sure the plan works alongside your primary dental insurance.
Aflac’s supplemental dental insurance offers coverage for a wide range of services, has no network restrictions, and allows you to choose the plan tier that fits your needs and budget.
