Understanding How Dental Insurance Works
The primary focus of dental insurance is prevention, in that most plans are designed to make standard services like checkups and cleanings easily affordable so patients can get problems found early and taken care of quickly. This approach not only leads to better oral health over time, but it also keeps someone’s dental care costs as low as possible, which is a big win-win for policyholders! Fortunately, dental insurance can also be used to offset the cost of more involved treatments like fillings and crowns, and you can learn more about this below.
What Your Dental Insurance Plan Covers
While we can’t tell you for certain what your plan covers without going over your specific policy, most tend to follow this same basic framework:
- Preventive services (checkups, cleanings, X-rays) are covered 80-100%
- Restorative services (fillings, crowns, dentures, extractions) are covered 50-70%
- Cosmetic services (whitening, veneers, bonding) are NOT covered because they are elective procedures.
- Orthodontic services typically receive a lifetime benefit, though it may only apply to metal braces.
