When choosing a dental insurance plan, the annual maximum is one of the most important factors to consider. Annual maximums for dental insurance determines how much your insurance policy will pay for covered services within a year. 

Most dental insurance plans set $1,000 to $1,500 as their dental insurance annual maximum, which might not be enough to fully protect you and your loved ones. Spirit Dental offers plans with options up to $5,000 of dental annual maximum benefit per person. With this higher maximum coverage, you can rest easy, getting the procedures you need without worrying too much.

Plus, with immediate full coverage with no waiting periods, you can access your benefits for a variety of services—from cleanings to implants—from day one. 


How do annual maximums for dental plans work? 

Each year, your dental plan provides a set amount of coverage (annual max) to help pay for preventive, basic and major dental services. Once you reach that limit, any additional costs for dental care are covered out-of-pocket.

Once you reach your benefits or calendar year from your plan's effective (start) date, your annual max will reset. You can use this to your advantage when scheduling major dental work that needs multiple visits to complete.

If you're in need of expensive major dental work, a high annual maximum dental plan will help you save more money. If your teeth are in good health and you don't need as much coverage, a lower annual max plan might be right for you. You can also look to the future to determine if you'll be in need of expensive procedures down the road. 

A high annual max plan can help you save thousands in dental care costs.

Whether you need individual dental insurance or you're a couple or family dental insurance, you don't need to settle for minimum coverage. Get the most out of your dental benefits with high annual maximums, and feel secure knowing you're covered when you need it most.
