Understanding How Dental Insurance Works
Your medical insurance is designed to help you treat your oral health problems. Dental insurance, on the other hand, is more focused on stopping dental issues before they even start. Most policies will offer the highest amount of coverage for preventive care such as checkups and cleanings. Coverage is still available for restorative treatments, but it’s generally lower. In short, you’ll get the most out of your plan by keeping up with your regular dental appointments.
What Does My Dental Insurance Cover?
Checkups, cleanings, X-rays, and anything else that can be classified as a preventive service is usually covered 80 to 100 percent under most plans. Restorative services can receive anywhere from 50 to 80 percent coverage; it generally depends on how complex the treatment in question is. A relatively simple restoration like a filling, for example, will typically receive better coverage than something more complex, such as a dental bridge. Cosmetic services are elective, so they’re normally not covered.
