The Optimum Plan is the plan designed for those who expect the best.
Optimum offers the most comprehensive dental care and coverage of all our plans - including most popular cosmetic dental procedures! You value exclusive experiences and timeless elegance, so we designed the Optimum Plan with you in mind by including cost-sharing benefits for professional teeth whitening, teeth bleaching services, and veneers to ensure that your teeth feel and look the best they can.
The Optimum Plan also offers 60% coverage on restorative dental care for procedures such as crowns, root canals, and dental implants, saving you money on major care. Furthermore, with a $100 policy lifetime deductible, you will never have to pay the deductible again once each covered person pays $100 out-of-pocket for treatment (as long as you keep your policy).
If you're ready to take your smile to the next level, the Optimum Plan is for you!

The waiting period for Orthodontia treatment will be waived for your family if all family members were covered under another insured dental plan with orthodontic coverage for at least 12 continuous months before you enrolled in this plan, but only if there was no more than a 63-day gap between the previous plan and this plan. Documentation is required to waive the 12-month waiting period.
