Careington 500 Series is the best dental savings plan for most Portland ZIP checks: $149/year through 1Dental (or $14.95/month plus a $30 setup fee), no waiting period, and official Sample Schedule 501 member maximums. Humana is the cheapest published entry at $6.99/month, priced per applicant. There is no Portland-only membership price.
No. The five plans we review are national memberships priced the same in Portland, the rest of Oregon, and every other state. What changes is which participating dentists sit near your ZIP. Confirm the office before you pay.
Yes. City intent is the dentist-near-this-ZIP question. The Oregon state pages remain the statewide ranking URLs. This unused Portland answer does not recut those ranking fields.
Careington does not publish a Portland fee table. Official Sample Schedule 501 lists national sample maximums at a participating general dentist: D1110 adult cleaning $33 and D2391 one-surface posterior filling $85. Ask the Portland-area office for its current member quote. Those sample rows are not a local guarantee.
