How Does Dental Insurance Work?

Dental insurance works by helping you prevent the need for costly, complex dental care like root canal or tooth replacement. It’s not quite like your medical or car insurance, which covers you in the event of a big problem. Instead, your dental insurance plan makes it easier for you to receive the preventive services that keep you smiling healthily for a lifetime to come.

There are three types of dental insurance:

What Does Dental Insurance Cover?

Because the focus of dental insurance plans is on preventive care, most plans will completely cover two checkups and cleanings each year. Additional preventive treatments like X-rays, topical fluoride treatments, and dental sealants are often covered, too.

If you need a restorative procedure, like a tooth-colored filling, traditional crown or bridge, root canal, or a tooth extraction, your dental insurance will likely cover the majority of the cost. Some plans have a provision requiring you to choose the least expensive alternative treatment. If that’s the case, we will discuss your options with you and help you make the decision that is best for you and your budget.

Additionally, some dental insurance plans require patients to meet a deductible before their benefits will take effect. Preventive treatments often fall outside of the deductible amount, and are covered no matter what.
