UNDERSTANDING YOUR COVERAGE

Dental Insurance

Dental insurance helps reduce out-of-pocket costs for your oral health care. A dental benefit plan is usually a fixed dollar amount, with set copays and premiums depending on the type of policy and the care you receive. Our practice has experienced financial professionals who can help you understand your insurance policy and benefits as well as your treatment costs.

Dental Benefit Plans vs. Medical Insurance

It is important to remember that dental benefit plans are nothing like medical insurance. In fact, they perform more along the lines of a vision care plan with limitations and out-of-pocket expenses. Each dental insurance plan is different, and even within the same insurance company, benefits can differ depending on the contract you or your employer have negotiated with that particular carrier. We encourage you to take the time to understand your specific dental insurance policy and its limitations.

Our practice accepts most PPO dental insurance plans. We are committed to making your experience as convenient as possible, and are happy to take the time to help you understand your benefits as well as to file your claims for you. We will provide you with estimates of your treatment cost and insurance coverage, however, you are responsible for the cost of your treatments.
