Dental Insurance in North Dakota

Data Snapshot: Dental Insurance in North Dakota

Dental insurance in North Dakota averages $30/month for an individual DPPO plan and $92/month for family DPPO coverage, based on 2024 NADP and NAIC market data. Individual DPPO premiums here are 14% below national average, where the national DPPO benchmark sits at $35/month. Annualized, that works out to roughly $360 per year for individual DPPO coverage and $1,104 per year for family DPPO before employer contributions or negotiated group discounts.

DHMO plans have limited availability in North Dakota, so most residents enroll in DPPO coverage at approximately $30/month, which allows them to see any licensed dentist rather than being restricted to a closed network. Most dental policies in North Dakota carry an annual maximum benefit of $1,000, meaning the plan will pay up to that amount toward covered dental care in a calendar year; once the maximum is reached, the enrollee pays 100% out of pocket until the benefit resets.

Actual premiums paid by North Dakota residents depend on age, selected carrier, plan tier, provider network breadth, orthodontic and major-service riders, and employer contributions through group plans — individual marketplace quotes can sit meaningfully above or below the market averages shown here. NADP figures aggregate filings from carriers across the state and represent statewide market averages rather than individual quotes, so residents in urban centers with deeper provider networks may see rates that differ from rural counties.
