    • New PPO Dental Plans More Competitive Against HMOs

      LOS ANGELES, June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- DentalInsurance.com, the leader in dental insurance comparison shopping, has broadened its inventory of PPO dental plans offering high maximum benefits. A maximum benefit is the annual cap on insurance company spending toward a consumer's covered dental care. PPO plans have a maximum benefit limit while HMO dental insurance doesn't. PPOs, however, have much wider dentist networks than most competing HMO plans. This helps consumers receive quality dental care from a trusted preferred dentist. By adding high maximum benefits, a new generation of PPO dental plans have become an even more attractive option for consumers.
