Understanding How Dental Insurance Works

Dental insurance can be difficult to grasp, especially because every plan’s coverage can vary dramatically. However, our team is here to help. Here are a few key words that you’ll want to know to better understand how your plan works:

  • Deductible: Your deductible is the amount that your dental insurance provider requires you to pay out-of-pocket before your benefits cover services. Usually, this is about $50.
  • Maximum: The maximum is the annual ceiling of what your dental insurance plan will cover on your dental treatments throughout the year, meaning every service you receive after your maximum will require you to pay.
  • Waiting Period: Some insurance policies have a waiting period, which means that they won’t cover certain services until this period of time has lapsed.

What Does My Dental Insurance Cover?

Dental insurance policies operate based on a 100-80-50 coverage structure. This means that they cover 100% of preventive services, like checkups and cleanings, 80% of minor procedures, like tooth-colored fillings, and 50% of more extensive treatments, like tooth extractions. It’s important to keep in mind that every plan varies. Our team will conduct a benefits check for you beforehand so you know what you’ll be required to pay out-of-pocket, if anything.
