How Dental Insurance Works

Every dental insurance plan is different, so we will review your individual policy before providing any estimates for the out of pocket cost of your treatment plans. While your individual policy may vary, most major dental insurance providers offer some combination of the following coverage:

What is the Difference Between Dental & Medical Insurance?

There are numerous differences between the ways dental and medical insurance policies work, but perhaps the most significant is the different treatments they cover. Dental insurance focuses on prevention, but medical insurance plans offer greater amounts of coverage for emergency care and ongoing treatments.

In-Network Coverage

For your convenience, we are happy to offer in-network dental insurance coverage for many major providers, including the following:

Out of Network Coverage

If we are not in-network with your insurance provider, we are still happy to process and file your benefit claims. We always do our utmost to ensure our patients receive the maximum benefits for all covered dental services. However, when we’re in-network with your insurer, we have agreed to charge fees for our dental services that fall within your insurer’s maximum costs for the specific treatment. This means you are only responsible for the out of pocket costs of dental care. For out of network plans, we do not necessarily know your provider’s set price maximums, so we may charge fees that are higher than your insurer’s maximum pricing. We always do our utmost to charge prices that are average for our area and fit within most insurers’ set pricing, so you should not have to pay much, if any, additional fees. However, please let one of our team members know right away if you’re concerned about pricing or your dental benefits.
