How Dental Insurance Works
No two dental insurance policies are exactly alike. To provide an accurate estimate of your specific dental insurance coverage, we’ll need to review your policy. Most dental benefit plans offer the highest amount of coverage for the cost of preventive dentistry, and restorative services receive decreasing coverage the more advanced they are. The majority of dental benefit plans offer the following coverage for dentistry services:
- 100% preventive care covered
- 70-80% minor restorative care covered
- 50% major restorative care covered
What is the Difference Between Dental & Medical Insurance?
There are many differences between medical and dental insurance. Medical insurance plans typically provide coverage for chronic illnesses and emergency interventions. Dental benefits are focused on preventive care to keep patients’ smiles whole and healthy. Networks also work differently for medical insurance coverage than they do for dental care. Medical insurance networks are very strict, and patients will only receive treatment coverage from physicians in their network in most cases. PPO dental insurance plans are much less restrictive, allowing patients to choose the right dentist to provide their dental care.
In-Network VS Out of Network Dentistry
We are happy to process and file your dental insurance claims whether or not we are in-network with your dental benefits provider. Please let our team know right away if you have questions about your specific dental coverage. We’ll be happy to help.
In-Network Coverage
We have in-network coverage agreements with many major insurers. For these policies, we have a standing agreement to charge fees that fall within your insurer’s fair pricing, so you are only ever responsible for the out-of-pocket percentage of your dental care costs. We are in-network with several benefit plans, including:
- Aetna
- BlueCross BlueShield (BCBS)
- Guardian
Out of Network Coverage
If you have insurance through a different benefit provider, we will still be happy to offer you coverage. We do our utmost to keep our treatment costs reasonable, so you shouldn’t need to worry about additional fees for treatment that fall outside of these costs. If you are ever concerned about the costs of your dental care or your insurance coverage, please let our team know. We’re happy to help.
