How Dental Insurance Works

It is important to acknowledge that every dental insurance plan is unique. You should examine the details of your policy to find out exactly how it works. In the meantime, here is an overview of the coverage that is standard among many PPO plans:

Preventive care is often 100% covered.
Minor services are frequently 80% covered.
Major services may be around 50% covered.
Orthodontia is up to 50% covered by some premium plans.

Your plan may also come with a deductible, a waiting period before you are eligible for some types of coverage, and an annual benefits limit.

What Is the Difference Between Dental & Medical Insurance?

Dental and medical insurance have different areas of focus. Dental insurance covers routine oral care, such as checkups, cleanings, and fillings. Medical insurance does not typically cover those things. It is more geared toward your overall systemic health. In some cases, it may cover certain types of oral surgery or emergency dental services.

In-Network vs. Out-of-Network

Whether our practice is in your insurance network or outside of it, we are eager to welcome you as a patient.

In-Network Coverage

If a practice is in-network with your insurance, it means they have a contract that controls prices and encourages a certain standard of care. Often, out-of-pocket fees are lowest at in-network practices.

If you have a PPO insurance plan, you can use your benefits at virtually any dental practice, regardless of its network status. Therefore, we are ready to help you take advantage of your policy even if we are not in your network. You may be able to enjoy many of the same perks with us as you would at an in-network provider. Remember, the most important thing is to visit a dental team who is worthy of your trust!
