Advantages

-Flexibility: one big advantage of PPO dental insurance is that you have the freedom to choose to go to a dentist who has a license within the organization, wherever you want, and if you choose a dentist who is in the PPO network, then generally you will have to pay less on your own.

-Out-of-network coverage: When you choose an out-of-network dentist, the PPO plan will also provide you with some coverage, which is not as comprehensive compared to in-network coverage. This is especially useful for those who already have a dentist they trust and have a harder time finding an in-network dentist.

-No referrals needed: You don't need to go to another doctor for a referral first when you see a specialist, which means that you can go directly to the specialized dentist without going through all those extra tedious administrative processes.

-Predictable costs: PPO plans have a fee schedule that will list the cost of various dental treatments, so you'll have a better idea of how much you'll have to spend, and you'll be able to budget ahead of time.

-Coverage of preventive care: PPO plans all emphasize on preventive care, with good coverage for these services such as cleanings, checkups, and x-rays, some of which are fully covered. This emphasis on preventive care is meant to help you reduce the risk of dental problems that may come up at a higher cost later on.
