How Dental Insurance Works
Every person’s dental insurance policy represents a unique contract between you and your insurer. In order to provide accurate estimates of the out of pocket costs of your dental treatments, we’ll need to review your policy. In most cases, patients receive the following coverage:
- 100% preventive care covered
- Minor restorative care around 70%-80% covered
- Major restorative care around 50%
What is the Difference Between Dental & Medical Insurance?
Medical and dental insurance policies vary in a number of ways. Perhaps the most obvious way they differ is in the treatments they cover. Dental benefit plans provide the greatest amount of coverage for preventive services to avoid oral health concerns. Medical benefits are typically geared toward ongoing maintenance for chronic illnesses as well as handling medical emergencies.
