1Dental is a dental discount plan provider based in the United States, offering membership-based savings programs that give Americans access to reduced-cost dental care without the complexity of traditional insurance. Unlike insurance, 1Dental's plans have no waiting periods, no deductibles, and no annual maximums, making savings available immediately upon joining.
The company offers two primary plans: Dental Access (best for specialists) and the Care 500 Series (best for general dentists), as well as a bundled option that combines both. Members gain access to a network of tens of thousands of participating dentists nationwide. Upon joining, members present their membership at the dentist and pay the discounted rate directly to the provider — the plan does not bill providers on your behalf.
- No waiting periods — use your plan the same day you join
- No deductibles or annual maximums — unlimited usage throughout your membership
- Pre-existing conditions covered — discounts apply regardless of prior dental history
- Family plans available — include everyone you care about under one membership
- Vision plan also available — additional coverage options beyond dental
1Dental holds a BBB A+ rating and is BBB Accredited, reflecting its commitment to customer service and ethical business practices. The company has collected 1,789 Shopper Approved ratings, with verified members reporting substantial real-world savings. Customer testimonials include reducing a $5,000 denture treatment to $2,418, saving over $600 on a single wisdom tooth extraction, and paying $183 for a tooth extraction that was originally quoted at $600.
Membership is backed by a 30-day Love It Guarantee: if you're not satisfied, you can receive a full refund of your plan membership fee (minus the setup fee if applicable) within the first 30 days. Plans are administered by Careington International Corporation, located in Frisco, TX. Note that plans are not available to residents of Vermont or Washington state, and this is not insurance.
