Understanding How Dental Insurance Works
Dental insurance and medical insurance do have some things in common, but they focus on different things. Medical insurance is meant to be used to help you pay for care in an emergency situation, such as a major injury or illness. Dental insurance, meanwhile, is centered around the idea of prevention, where most plans offer full coverage for checkups, cleanings, and X-rays so that the bigger dental issues that would cost more to treat don’t occur in the first place.
What Your Dental Insurance Plan Covers
You need to review your plan to see what specific kind of coverage you have. You should reach out to your insurance provider to confirm your benefits before beginning any kind of treatment. A typical plan will fully cover preventive care, pay up to 80% of the cost of basic restorative care, and cover around 50% of the cost of more extensive treatments. Teeth whitening and other cosmetic procedures aren’t included under most plans, although exceptions do exist.
Our In-Network PPO Dental Insurance Providers
When you choose a dental office, you need to determine whether it’s in-network our out-of-network with your insurance. Out-of-network plans can still be accepted, but in-network plans (which involve a contract where the dentist accepts pre-negotiated rates for their services) can help patients save more money.
