If you've been shopping for Aetna Dental Access® on other websites, you've probably noticed different prices for what looks like the same plan. That's because it is the same plan. Multiple authorized marketplaces sell Aetna Dental Access® — the network, the discounts, and the provider list are identical no matter where you buy. The only thing that changes is how much you pay for the membership.
Whether you buy from DentalPlansUSA, DentalPlans.com, or 1Dental.com — you get the same Aetna Dental Access® plan with the same 15–50% savings at the same 213,000+ dental locations. The difference is the price you pay for the membership.
Search any ZIP code on our site, on DentalPlans.com, or on 1Dental.com. You'll find the same participating dentists — because they all pull from the same Aetna Dental Access® provider directory. Your dentist doesn't know or care where you bought your membership. They see "Aetna Dental Access" and charge the contracted rate.
The fee schedule your dentist uses is set by Aetna, not by the marketplace that sold you the plan. That means a cleaning, filling, crown, or root canal costs the same discounted price regardless of whether you enrolled through us or a competitor. Zero difference at the dentist's office.
You get member information, you show it at the dentist, and you pay the discounted rate. That process is identical no matter where you buy. The only variable is how much you paid for the membership itself — and we charge less.
Same plan, different price. Here's what a year of membership costs at each site (individual, monthly billing).
That's up to $144 saved per year on the membership alone — before you even factor in dental savings. Competitor pricing based on publicly listed rates; may vary by location and promotions.
Fair question. Here's a straightforward answer.
DentalPlans.com is a large marketplace with dozens of different plans, and 1Dental bundles multiple products together. We focus exclusively on Aetna Dental Access®. That means less overhead, less complexity, and savings we pass to you.
Some competitors use the Aetna Dental Access® plan as a gateway to upsell bundles, add-ons, or upgraded tiers. We don't do that. You get exactly what you came for, at the price we showed you.
We don't spend millions on TV ads or massive affiliate networks. Our growth comes from clear pricing and word of mouth — which keeps our costs down and your price low.
Our member dashboard lets you manage billing, update dependents, view plan details, and cancel — all without calling anyone. That reduces support costs, which keeps prices low.
Beyond price — here's what makes the experience better.
$6.95/mo individual, $9.95/mo family. Compare that to $12.95+/mo at DentalPlans.com or $16.95/mo + $30 setup at 1Dental. Over a year, that's up to $144 saved on membership alone.
Our prices are on the website before you start checkout. No "enter your ZIP to see pricing" games, no mystery totals, no bundles that change the price at the last step.
Our enrollment takes about 2 minutes. No upsell screens, no "are you sure you don't want the premium bundle?" pop-ups. Pick your plan, create your account, check out, done.
Manage everything from your account: view your plan, update billing, add or remove dependents, switch between monthly and annual, or cancel. No phone calls required.
Don't take our word for it. Search the same ZIP code on our provider search and on a competitor's. Call a dentist and ask what the Aetna Dental Access® rate is. It's the same plan. We just charge less for the membership.
