Temporary Dental Coverage

Don't Let Your Dental Coverage Lapse

Short-term dental coverage bridges the gap between other plans — so a change in jobs, benefits, or life stage never means going without protection for your dental care.

Dental benefits rarely change on your schedule. A new job's plan might have a waiting period before coverage kicks in. A retirement date might arrive before Medicare-related coverage begins. A self-employed season might leave you without group benefits at all.

A short-term dental plan is designed for exactly that in-between period — coverage that starts when you need it and ends when your next plan takes over, so there's no gap where a routine visit or an unexpected issue is left unprotected.

When It Makes Sense

When a Short-Term Plan Fits

Between Jobs

Your previous employer's dental plan has ended, and your next one hasn't started yet.

Waiting Period on a New Plan

Your new employer's dental benefits are in place, but a waiting period stands between you and coverage.

Retiring Before Medicare

You've stepped away from group coverage, and your next chapter's benefits haven't started.

Self-Employed & In Between

You're building your own path, and group dental benefits aren't part of the picture right now.

Why It Matters
A gap in coverage is exactly when problems tend to happen — a short-term plan means you're never caught in between.
What's Typically Included

What These Plans Generally Cover

Preventive Care

Routine visits like cleanings and exams, so ongoing care doesn't stop during the gap.

Basic Procedures

Common needs like fillings, so a small issue doesn't have to wait for your next plan to start.

Major Procedures

Coverage for larger procedures, depending on the specific plan and its terms.

Exact coverage, limits, and waiting periods vary by plan — we'll walk through the details together before you choose one.
