How Does Dental Insurance Work?

Most dental insurance plans encourage patients to stay on top of their oral health to avoid worsening problems that can cause pain and discomfort. There are a few primary components of your plan that are necessary to know in order to understand it. These include:

These all impact each of your visits. If you have any questions about them, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team.

What Does Dental Insurance Cover?

Most dental insurance plans use a 100-80-50 coverage structure to determine out-of-pocket costs that patients are responsible for. Basically, this means that they will cover 100 percent of the cost of preventive services, like your semi-annual checkup and cleaning, 80 percent of more basic treatments, like cavity fillings, and 50 percent of invasive procedures, like tooth extractions. Every plan is different, so before you schedule a treatment appointment, we recommend contacting your insurance plan provider for details.
