When DH was laid off we had COBRA. When that timed out I looked at an individual plan with the same company. Basically we were better off without. We had a 2 year waiting period before they would pay anything on crowns, root canals and other procedures and then the % coverage wasn't that great. There was a waiting period on basic things too. With his former work place the coverage was greatand the same insurance co. Call some dentits in your area and ask what they charge for various procedures and ask friends for the name of a good place. Good luck in your findings.
