Dental and vision insurance are two types of insurance policies that provide coverage for dental and vision care services, respectively. These policies are often offered as supplemental insurance to traditional health insurance policies, but can also be purchased as standalone policies.
Dental insurance policies typically cover preventive care services, such as cleanings and exams, as well as basic and major restorative services, such as fillings, root canals, and crowns. Some policies may also cover orthodontic services, such as braces. Dental insurance policies may have annual benefit limits and may require patients to pay a portion of the cost of services through copayments or coinsurance.

Some policies may also provide coverage for more extensive vision care services, such as vision therapy or laser eye surgery. Vision insurance policies may have annual benefit limits and may require patients to pay a portion of the cost of services through copayments or coinsurance.
Both dental and vision insurance policies can be valuable for individuals and families who want to maintain good oral and vision health, as well as for those who require frequent dental or vision care services. These policies can also help reduce out-of-pocket costs for services, making them more affordable for patients.

You can use online tools and resources to compare policies and costs, and you can also consult with a licensed insurance agent or broker for advice.
