Dental & Vision Plans
Most major medical plans don't include adult dental or vision. Phil Vaughn helps Texas individuals, families, and self-employed clients add affordable standalone dental and vision coverage — and keep their current providers.

What Dental & Vision Coverage Typically Includes
Dental: preventive (cleanings, exams, X-rays), basic (fillings, simple extractions), and major (crowns, bridges, root canals). Some plans include orthodontia for children, and a few offer adult orthodontia riders.
Vision: annual eye exam, frames allowance, lenses (single, bifocal, progressive), and contact lens allowance. Most plans use the VSP or EyeMed networks.
How Dental & Vision Pairs With Your Medical Plan
Adult dental and vision aren't part of standard ACA medical coverage, so they're almost always added as standalone policies. We bundle them alongside your individual or family medical plan so you have one renewal calendar and one advisor to call.
