How Dental Insurance Works
Each dental insurance plan is unique, and terms can vary widely between policies. It is crucial to familiarize yourself with the specific benefits and conditions included in your plan. However, the following outline highlights the coverage typically provided by PPO-type insurance plans:
Preventive Treatment: Procedures such as cleanings, examinations, and X-rays are typically covered at 100%.
Basic (Minor) Treatment: Services such as fillings and simple extractions are usually covered up to 80%.
Major Treatment: Complex procedures, including crowns, bridges, and dental implants, are typically covered up to 50%.
Orthodontics: Premium plans may cover up to 50% of orthodontic costs (often with a lifetime maximum).
Cosmetic Services: Elective procedures (such as teeth whitening or veneers) are typically not covered.
Confused by Coverage? Let Us Handle the Math. Navigating dental insurance can feel like learning a new language, but you don’t have to do it alone. We know how to read the fine print. Our team is happy to perform a complimentary benefits check to help you understand exactly what your plan covers before you sit in the chair.
