What Does Dental Insurance Typically Cost in Massachusetts?

According to HealthInsurance.org, the average cost of dental insurance is $65 for adults who purchase stand-alone or family dental coverage via the Massachusetts Health Connector, a state-based health insurance marketplace.

Shopping for Dental Plans in Massachusetts

Before purchasing a dental insurance plan, compare carrier carriage and coverage levels to see what best fits your needs and budget. You should also check if your preferred dentist is within the carrier’s network to keep costs as low as possible.

However, dental insurance isn’t the only way you can get dental coverage in Massachusetts. Consider signing up for a dental savings plan, which allows plan members to save 10-60 % on preventative and restorative treatments.
