FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS DENTAL INSURANCE?
Dental insurance is a type of health insurance that helps cover the cost of dental care, including preventive and restorative care such as cleanings, fluoride treatments, X-rays, fillings and crowns. Some plans may also provide coverage for more expensive procedures like root canals, braces, dentures and implants. Dental insurance plans can be purchased as individual policies or included in employer-sponsored health care packages.
HOW DOES DENTAL INSURANCE WORK?
Most dental insurance plans have coinsurance and deductibles that must be met before the plan will cover services. Coinsurance is a percentage of each covered service that you must pay out of pocket, while a deductible is an amount you must pay before the plan begins to cover any services. After the deductible has been met, most plans will cover a certain percentage of each covered service with the rest being paid out of pocket.
WHAT SERVICES ARE GENERALLY COVERED BY DENTAL INSURANCE?
Most dental insurance plans cover preventive care such as cleanings, X-rays, and fluoride treatments. The plan may also cover more complex services such as fillings, crowns, root canals, dentures and implants. However, coverage for these services may vary by plan so it is important to review your policy to see what is covered.
IS COSMETIC DENTISTRY COVERED BY INSURANCE?
Generally, most dental insurance plans do not cover procedures that are considered to be cosmetic such as teeth whitening or veneers. However, some plans may cover a portion of the cost if the procedure is deemed medically necessary. It is important to check with your plan provider to see what is covered.
HOW CAN I FIND A DENTIST THAT TAKES MY INSURANCE?
Many dental insurance plans have networks of dentists who have agreed to accept the plan’s rates and policy terms. You can usually search online or call your plan provider to find a list of in-network providers. You may also be able to find a list of participating dentists on your policy’s website. It is important to make sure the dentist you choose is in-network, as out-of-network providers may not accept your insurance coverage.
CAN I USE MY DENTAL INSURANCE FOR FAMILY MEMBERS?
Most dental insurance plans allow you to add family members, including children and spouses, to your policy. You may also be required to pay an additional premium for each family member added. Check with your plan provider for more information about adding family members.
