Private Dental Insurers and Covered CA Insurers

Family and adult dental benefits may be purchased directly through your employer. You may be able to purchase dental insurance through Covered California if your employer does not offer dental insurance coverage. Covered California is the marketplace for people and small businesses to find out if they are eligible for federal premium assistance to buy health insurance, including dental coverage, under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

  • Covered California: All Californians can sign up for dental insurance during the annual open-enrollment period, which begins in the fall. Many others may be eligible to sign up at any time during the year due to a life-changing event such as getting married, having a child or moving.

Once you are enrolled in a dental insurance plan, you can find a dentist that accepts your insurance coverage by visiting your health plan’s website.
