Denplan is a budgeting plan for general dentistry. By paying a flat monthly fee you can receive some or all of your dentistry with no extra charge.

Built into this is an element of insurance, giving you world-wide emergency trauma cover.

What is the difference between Denplan Essentials and Denplan Care?

Denplan Essentials and Denplan Care are both dental care plans offered by Denplan, but they have different levels of coverage and benefits:

1. Denplan Essentials:

   • Coverage: This plan covers regular check-ups and hygiene visits.
   • Focus: Primarily focuses on preventative care, such as dental check-ups and cleaning.
   • Cost: It’s typically cheaper than Denplan Care because it provides fewer services.
   • Limitations: Does not cover the cost of treatment for any dental issues (like fillings, crowns, or other dental work). These costs are paid separately by the patient. Denplan patients also receive a 10% discount on any necessary treatment.
   • Best for: People who mainly need routine dental visits and basic preventative care.

2. Denplan Care:

   • Coverage: This plan offers comprehensive coverage that includes all routine and emergency dental care, such as fillings, extractions, crowns, and other necessary treatments.
   • Focus: It provides full coverage for all dental treatments, aside from the cost of certain specialist treatments.
   • Cost: It’s more expensive than Denplan Essentials because it covers a wider range of dental treatments.
   • Limitations: While most dental treatments are covered, there might still be some exclusions (like cosmetic treatments) and certain limits on high-cost procedures.
   • Best for: People who want full dental care and prefer to pay a fixed monthly fee for all their dental needs, including both routine visits and treatments.

To join Denplan Care, you’ll need to have a assessment with your dentist to make sure you’re “dentally fit.” This means you won’t have any existing issues that need immediate treatment before signing up, and your oral health is stable. During this visit, your dentist will take a look at your oral health and, based on what’s needed, they’ll set a monthly fee that’s right for you. It’s all about making sure the plan matches your specific needs!

So, while Denplan Care gives you full coverage for any treatments and check-ups, the cost and eligibility depend on your current dental health.
