Susan just recently retired and wants to stay healthy to enjoy her free time but doesn’t want to spend her hard-earned life’s savings to do it.
After ending my career, I want the best. I’m still healthy but that’s because I take care of myself. One of the things that’s important to me is my oral health. I’m an empty-nester and all about maximizing my coverage as I get older to prepare for anything I might need.
Damien and Gabby were high school sweethearts. Now they just want to enjoy each other’s company and live a healthy life.
My partner and I are lucky. We’ve done well and are lucky enough to have finally paid off our house. Now that our careers are on solid footing, we are focused on what we need to do to be healthy for life. We've always focused on healthy eating and an active life, but we had no idea that periodontal disease could be genetic. We're lucky that Gabby's dentist caught it early and has a plan for long-term management with scaling and deep root planning. We want our healthy smiles to stay; we're glad we can prioritize our dental needs without having to sacrifice value.

iv No waiting period.
v $1500 lifetime maximum with 12-month waiting period
vi For Orthodontia covered procedures a 12-month waiting period applies. This means that DDWA will not pay towards any of these procedures until the covered members have been enrolled in this policy for 12 continuous months. The waiting period for Orthodontia treatment will be waived for your family if all family members were covered under another insured dental plan with orthodontic coverage for at least 12 continuous months before you enrolled in this plan, but only if there was no more than a 63-day gap between the previous plan and this plan. Documentation is required to waive the 12-month waiting period.
