BestOne Dental Plan
To be honest I have struggled to find stand-alone dental plans that I consider worth recommending when you weigh the monthly cost to benefits offered. One plan that can 'pencil out' is the BestOne dental plan--as long as you use one of the dentists they contract with. The plan has a $5000 maximum benefit and does not exclude implants.
BestOne Dental plans are designed for those needing major dental insurance and are willing to seek coverage from a contracted dentist in the DenteMax network. The plan does allow you to see any dentist (out of network) technically, but they will only pay that dentist what they would have paid the contracted provider. To say it another way, you will pay less out of pocket if you see a contracted dental office. Best one offers a lower-cost Economy plan and the more comprehensive Choice Plan.
NOTE: PLEASE USE A NETWORK PROVIDER
Before you read further, let me stress that if you do not go to a contracted dentist in the DenteMax provider network you will likely NOT be happy on this plan. When you see a contracted dentist they agree to accept payment and will not 'balance bill' you if they do not feel they are paid well enough. People complain to me about this plan when they see that their dentists are not in the network. Some dentists just want to charge what they charge and not discount their work.
Economy Plan $25-28 per month
The Economy Plan charges a $25 copay per visit at the door, and offers a $1500 max annual benefit for preventative and restoration services. Cleanings/exams/bitewing x-rays are covered 100% with no waiting period. In addition, the Economy plan offers 80% coverage of fillings (you pay 20%), and much more. This plan does not cover Major Services, just what is listed above.
If you sign up for this plan please use a dentist in the contracted provider network.
Choice Plan $48-$51 per month
The Choice plan offers a robust $5000 maximum benefit plan. All levels of care including crowns, bridges, implants and root canals are covered-- subject to plan limitations.
- Basic services are covered 100% after a $25 copay with no waiting period.
- Intermediate services like fillings are covered 50% year 1, then 80% after 12 months.
- Major services like root canal/bridge/implants are covered 10% year 1, then 60% after 12 months.

Dental Network:
BestOne uses 2 national networks: DenteMax and Connections Network. Do not ask your dental office whether they accept BestOne Life--ask them if they accept plans using the DenteMax or Connections Network.
Even if your dentist shows up in the search tool please call their office to confirm that they are in the DenteMax network. The directory below is not updated regularly.

WHAT IF YOU CANCEL YOUR POLICY, CAN YOU REAPPLY LATER ON?
If you have a BestOne Dental plan and cancel it, you cannot reapply for 12 months after the date of cancellation. This discourages people from taking out the coverage, getting their fillings filled, then cancelling right away.
