The Truth About Dental Insurance Limits

October 26, 2026
No insurance? No problem! Did you know traditional dental insurance caps (usually $1,000–$1,500/year) have been stuck at the same amount for over 50 years? While treatment costs have naturally risen with modern technology and inflation, insurance limits haven’t budged. That’s why we created our direct in-office plan to keep quality care affordable for your entire family!
50-Year Trend: Dental Caps vs. Actual Costs
Since 1974 the typical insurance cap has stayed flat at about $1,500 a year, while the actual cost of care and overhead has climbed past $8,000. The gap between what your plan pays and what modern dentistry costs grows wider every year.
