How Much Does Dental Insurance Typically Cost in New York?

According to HealthInsurance.org, $25 to $110 per month is the average premium for adults who purchase either stand-alone or family dental coverage via the NY State of Health, a state-run exchange. If you’re purchasing family dental coverage through the NY State of Health, premium tax credits may or may not offset the premiums associated with pediatric dental coverage.
