Understanding How Dental Insurance Works

While dental insurance offers benefits that can help pay for restorative treatments, most plans primarily focus on preventive care. This means that checkups, cleanings, and other preventive services receive the most coverage under a typical plan. The aim is to encourage you to address smaller problems early on, so that both you and your insurance company can avoid the cost of more complex treatments in the future.

What Your Dental Insurance Plan Covers

Each dental insurance plan is structured slightly differently, but most follow this general pattern:

• 80% to 100% coverage for preventive checkups, cleanings, and X-rays.
• 50% to 80% for restorative care. Minor treatments such as fillings usually receive higher coverage than more extensive treatments like tooth extractions.
• No coverage for elective treatments, which typically applies to most cosmetic services.

You can contact your insurance provider to clarify your benefits. We can also help you understand your coverage.

We Offer In-Network Savings & Welcome Out-Of-Network Providers

Understanding “in-network” versus “out-of-network” insurance coverage can be confusing. In simple terms, we gladly accept out-of-network providers and will file the necessary claims on your behalf; however, being in-network with your insurance company means you’ll save more money. Please confirm whether we’re part of your insurance carrier’s network before your appointment. While we can work with out-of-network insurances, we’re proud to be a part of these networks:
