Understanding How Dental Insurance Works

Dental insurance works much like your health insurance in that it involves paying monthly premiums in exchange for coverage. However, a dental plan is generally focused more on prevention than paying for treatment in the worst-case scenario. The idea is to encourage patients to seek checkups and cleanings in order to stop severe dental problems from occurring at all. Not only does this help them protect their smiles, but it also lowers the cost on dental care overall.

What Your Dental Insurance Plan Covers

If you’re not completely sure about what your dental benefits are, call us! We can go over your plan with you and explain anything that you’re uncertain about. Every plan is a little different, but you can generally expect them to fall into the same basic framework: 100 percent coverage for preventive care, 80 percent coverage for minor restorations, and 50 percent coverage for major restorations. Cosmetic treatments are seen as elective, so they most likely won’t be covered unless they benefit your health in some way.
