Dental Network of America plans typically cover a broad range of dental services. Here’s a general overview of the treatments you can expect to be covered under your plan:
Coverage levels may vary based on your specific employer group plan. Our team will verify your plan details to ensure you receive the benefits you're entitled to.
Navigating the financial aspects of your dental insurance plan can be daunting. Here are some key factors that impact your out-of-pocket costs:
Your plan may have a cap on the total amount it will pay for covered services each year. Understanding this limit helps you plan your treatments accordingly.
The deductible is the amount you need to pay out-of-pocket before your insurance starts to cover services. Knowing your deductible can help you budget more effectively.
This is the percentage of costs you share with the insurance company after your deductible is met. It can vary based on the type of dental service received.
Before undergoing major treatments, we provide pre-treatment estimates to help you understand potential costs and how they align with your coverage.
As an in-network provider, we have negotiated fees with DNOA, which typically results in lower costs for covered services compared to out-of-network providers.
Many plans cover preventive services at no cost to you. Regular check-ups and cleanings can help you avoid costly procedures in the future.

As the year progresses, it's crucial to review your dental benefits and ensure you're making the most of what your plan offers. Many insurance plans reset annually, meaning any unused benefits do not carry over to the next year. Scheduling necessary treatments before the year's end can help prevent losing out on valuable benefits.
Consider phase-splitting for more extensive treatments. By planning part of your treatment in the current year and the remainder in the next, you can leverage your benefits across two policy periods. This approach often leads to significant savings.
Additionally, utilizing HSA/FSA funds for out-of-pocket expenses can provide tax advantages, effectively reducing the cost of your dental care. Our team is always here to help you navigate these options and make the best financial decisions for your dental health.
