Understanding How Dental Insurance Works

Dental insurance forms

You will discover that most dental insurance plans offer full coverage for preventive dentistry, while they may only provide partial coverage for minor or major restorative care. Dr. Pham and our team will work with you to ensure you use your dental benefits most successfully when preparing for a dental checkup and cleaning. Not only do these six-month visits lower your risk for serious problems in the future, but preventive coverage allows you to get the treatment you need without emptying your pockets.

What Does My Dental Insurance Cover?

Most dental insurance plans maintain a similar breakdown of coverage that looks something like the following:

  • 80-100% preventive dental services
  • 70-80% minor restorative dental services
  • 50% of major restorative dental services

Some may agree to include orthodontic treatment; however, you’ll need to review the terms of your policy before committing to any work. Some may not provide coverage for individuals over a certain age or those looking for a particular type of braces. That’s why it’s important to double-check the details of your plan with your provider beforehand. Of course, our team can help you navigate your policy if necessary, so there are no surprises when paying your bill.
