UNDERSTANDING HOW DENTAL INSURANCE WORKS
Medical and dental insurance are separate because they each have a different approach when it comes to your care. Most of the time, medical insurance pays for treating existing issues, not preventing them. With dental insurance, however, the focus is primarily on prevention and early treatment. This means that you’ll get the most value from your benefits by taking advantage of the preventive services we offer.
WHAT YOUR DENTAL INSURANCE PLAN COVERS
Each insurance plan can be unique, but many plans are similar. Yours may resemble the following in coverage:
- Preventive care (cleanings and exams)—80 to 100 percent covered
- Minor restorative care (tooth-colored fillings)—70 to 80 percent covered.
- Major restorative care (dental crowns, bridges, etc.)—50 percent covered.
Before beginning any treatment, check with your insurance provider to learn what your coverage is. That way, you’ll have fewer surprises later on.
