Is there a waiting period for coverage to begin with Guardian Dental Insurance?

Yes, there is a waiting period for coverage to begin with Guardian Dental Insurance. The exact length of the waiting period may vary depending on the specific dental plan chosen. Typically, there is a waiting period of 3 to 6 months for basic services like routine cleanings and fillings, 6 to 12 months for major services such as root canals and extractions, and 12 months or more for orthodontic procedures like braces. During the waiting period, the policyholder is not eligible for coverage for these specific services. However, coverage for preventive care like regular check-ups and cleanings usually begins immediately or with a shorter wait time. It is important for potential policyholders to review the specific waiting period details outlined in their plan documents to fully understand when coverage will begin.
