Dental Insurance At Dental Minds

What you need to know about dental insurance

• Most dental insurance plans cover 100% of the costs of preventive dentistry and a percentage of the costs of other procedures. Typically, PPO plans use a 100/80/50 coverage structure, which looks like this:

      – 100% of preventive dentistry
      – 80% of basic treatments
      – 50% of major treatments

• Keep in mind that this may change depending on your specific plan.
  

• Cosmetic treatments, like dental veneers, are not typically covered.

• Although regular exams and cleanings are immediately covered, most insurance plans require a waiting period before paying for any restorative procedure.
  

• Every insurance plan has a cap (annual maximum). Depending on your plan, it can be about $1,000 to $3,000. Any expense beyond that amount will need to be paid out-of-pocket.
  

Since dental plans can reduce the costs of dental treatments, many patients benefit from them, but they are not always necessary. Whether you have dental insurance or don’t, at Dental Minds we have several options to help you get the dental care that you deserve.
