Understanding How Dental Insurance Works
Unlike most medical insurance plans, dental insurance plans tend to emphasize prevention. The thought process is simple: if you have minor dental issues taken care of ahead of time, you’re less likely to require more expensive procedures in the future. That’s why most dental insurance policies tend to offer the highest discounts for 6-month checkups and cleanings, X-rays, and fluoride treatments.
What Your Dental Insurance Plan Covers
If you call our dental office with your policy information, we can go over your benefits with you to give you an accurate idea of what kind of coverage you can expect for a given treatment. Most companies will pay along the following lines:
- 80% to 100% coverage for preventive services (biannual checkups, X-rays) as well as other general dentistry services such as fluoride and gum disease therapy.
- 50% to 80% coverage for fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, and other restorative treatments. (The exact amount depends on the complexity of the required service.)
- 0% coverage for cosmetic treatments unless they are necessary to your oral health in some way.
