How to use
Enter your monthly premium, annual deductible, and annual maximum, then estimate how many of each procedure you expect this year. The calculator applies the standard 100-80-50 coverage model (100% preventive, 80% basic, 50% major), subtracts the deductible, and caps insurer payments at the annual maximum.
Alaska dental premiums run above the national average due to low provider density and high travel costs.
All calculations happen in your browser. Results are estimates — your actual plan may use different coinsurance tiers, waiting periods, or in-network pricing. Confirm with your insurer before treatment.
FAQ
How does dental insurance work?
Most plans follow a 100-80-50 model: 100% of preventive care (cleanings, exams), 80% of basic work (fillings, extractions), and 50% of major work (crowns, root canals). You pay the annual deductible first, then your coinsurance share, up to the annual maximum.
What is the difference between a deductible and coinsurance?
The deductible is the fixed amount you pay each year before insurance shares costs. Coinsurance is your percentage share after the deductible — for example, you pay 20% of basic procedures.
Why is my result higher than the premium alone?
Because the calculator adds your full out-of-pocket cost: annual premiums plus any deductible, coinsurance, and costs above the annual maximum. Most people pay both, not just the premium.
Are braces covered by dental insurance?
Orthodontics is usually a separate rider with its own lifetime maximum (often $1,000–$2,500). The 100-80-50 model above does not include orthodontic benefits.
What happens if my procedures exceed the annual maximum?
Once the insurer has paid the annual maximum, you pay 100% of remaining costs. This calculator includes that cap so the estimate stays realistic.
