Invest in your smile today!

 

Get started

How do I find a dental plan that is right for me?

One

Assess your dental needs

Think about the types of dental services you'll require. Do you have complex dental issues, or will you primarily need preventative check-ups and cleanings? Understanding your needs will help you choose the right plan.

Two

Find a dentist

With our dental plans, you have the freedom to visit any dentist you choose. However, you'll maximize your savings by using an in-network provider. Explore our extensive network of over 1,000 providers to ensure your dentist is in-network or to find a new one.

 
Three

Determine your budget

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska offers three dental plans with varying levels of coverage and premium costs. Assess your budget to find the plan that best fits your financial situation.

2  Waived when a BlueDental plan is purchased at the same time that a Medicare supplement, Armor Health or Nebraska HeartlandBlue policy is purchased or renewed.
Please note: BlueDental does not cover services for orthodontic dentistry.
Coinsurance is based on the allowable charge for a covered service. Generally, the allowable charge for covered services by in-network providers will be the contract amount. The allowable charge for covered services by out-of-network providers will be based on the contracted amount for Nebraska providers or an amount determined by the on-site plan for out-of-area providers.
