Rekna, make a quick survey of professionals in your area. Call and ask for costs of normal procedures without insurance. Cavities, cleanings, crowns, canals, etc. Do they give cash discounts? Ask which plans your favorite dentists support and go from there.
I've found if your plan isn't subsidized by an employer there's not much economic value to dental insurance. They pay for a little preventative work, and some percentage of major work, but you can often get the same deal or close to it as an "uninsured." A healthcare savings plan may make more sense.
