Understanding How Dental Insurance Works
It’s a common misconception that dental insurance works exactly the same as medical insurance. They do have some similarities, but medical insurance is supposed to help pay for treatment in the event of a true emergency, such as a serious injury or an illness like cancer. Dental insurance is more concerned with prevention, offering more coverage for checkups and cleanings. By attending your biannual dental visits, you can use your benefits and avoid the need for more extensive dental work.
What Does My Dental Insurance Cover?
Dental insurance usually provides coverage for preventive services at or close to 100%. When it comes to restorative care, basic procedures like fillings usually receive around 80% coverage while major procedures get around 50%. This is just a general outline of how many plans are structured; your own plan might be different. Please get in touch with your insurance provider in order to confirm the scope of your coverage before moving forward.
