Discount Plan or Real Insurance?
We tell you plainly which is which. The Key Dental plan is a discount plan, not insurance — it works differently from dental insurance, which pays a share of bigger work. An advisor helps you explore which fits.
| How They Compare | Key Dental (Discount) | Dental Insurance |
|---|---|---|
| Waiting period | Often none | Varies by plan |
| Annual maximum | Typically none | Often capped per year |
| How you save | Discounts at participating dentists | Plan pays a share |
| Is it insurance? | No — a discount plan | Yes |
The Key Dental plan is a discount plan administered by Careington International — not insurance. It lowers what you pay at the time of service. We'll help you explore which option fits, with no markup.

Common Questions
Dental & Vision, Straight
Doesn't my Medicare already cover the dentist and eye doctor?
It's a fair assumption, but Original Medicare doesn't cover routine dental cleanings, fillings, dentures, or routine eye exams and glasses. That's the gap dental and vision coverage can help with, so more of the cost is manageable rather than fully out of pocket.
Is this real insurance, or just a discount card?
We're upfront: the Key Dental option from Careington is a dental discount plan, not insurance — and we also offer dental insurance if that fits you better. They work differently, and a licensed advisor can walk you through each so you can choose the one that fits.
Will I have to wait months before I can use it?
Waiting periods vary by plan. Some options cover preventive care like cleanings and exams right away, while others may have a waiting period for larger work. An advisor can walk you through the specifics of each option so there are no surprises.
Can I keep the dentist I've gone to for years?
You may not have to switch. The discount network is large and national, so many people find their current dentist already participates. We can help you look into it as you weigh your options.
It's one more bill on a fixed income — is it worth it?
Every dollar counts. Routine dental and vision costs can add up over time, and coverage can help make them more predictable. A licensed advisor can help you weigh the options and the costs so you can decide what makes sense for your budget.
