Understanding How Dental Insurance Works
The main way in which dental insurance differs from medical insurance is that the former is focused on preventive care rather than treating health issues as they crop up. That’s why your plan likely allocates the most coverage for preventive services like cleanings and checkups. Treatments designed to remedy broken or missing teeth can also be covered, but to a lesser degree than preventive care. So, the best way to maximize your benefits is to attend your routine checkups twice a year.
What Your Dental Insurance Plan Covers
The specifics of each dental insurance plan can vary, but most of them (yours included) tend to offer coverage on a similar framework:
- Preventive services (X-rays, exams, cleanings, etc.) are covered at 80-100%.
- Restorative care (fillings, crowns, root canals, tooth extractions, etc.) is covered at 50-80%.
- Cosmetic treatments (teeth whitening, veneers, etc.) are NOT covered, as they’re considered elective procedures.
