Understanding How Dental Insurance Works

Dental insurance and standard health insurance share a lot of similarities, but the big difference can be boiled down to one word: prevention. Generally, dental insurance plans are designed to help patients avoid dental issues in the first place, or at least take care of them as early as possible. That’s why services like checkups and cleanings tend to receive the most coverage, while restorative treatments such as crowns and bridges require higher out-of-pocket costs.

What Does My Dental Insurance Cover?

While we can’t tell you exactly what your dental insurance plan covers without talking to you first, we can confidently say that your plan probably looks very similar to this:

  • Preventive services are covered 80-100% (checkups, cleanings, X-rays)
  • Restorative services are covered 50-80% (crowns, bridges, dentures)
  • Cosmetic services are NOT covered because they are elective (veneers, whitening)

Basically, if you want to spend as little as possible on your dental visits and still take great care of your teeth, your best bet is to simply keep up with your two recommended checkups and cleanings each year.
