Do you have dental insurance? We have good news! Our team at Moses Lake Family Dentistry accepts most dental insurance plans and makes dental services much more affordable. When you take advantage of your insurance’s benefits, particularly your preventive coverage, you can ensure a healthy smile for years to come. By avoiding oral problems in the first place, you can steer clear of extensive and expensive treatment down the road.
Understanding How Dental Insurance Works
Dental insurance can be confusing for those who are unfamiliar with it. Every month, you pay a premium for dental insurance for certain coverage. When you come to our office, we use your insurance information to look up your benefits, and then we file claims based on the services you receive from us. At the end of your appointment, we’ll collect fees that aren’t covered by insurance and submit the claims with your insurance to be paid the remaining portion of the cost for your visit.
What Your Dental Insurance Plan Covers
There are many kinds of dental insurance plans out there, and they can differ in what coverage they offer. However, most of the time, insurance plans have benefits that resemble the following:
-
Preventive services (e.g., cleaning, exams, fluoride treatment)—80 to 100 percent covered.
-
Minor restorative services (e.g., dental crowns)—70 to 80 percent covered.
-
Major restorative services (e.g., bridges, dentures)—50 percent covered.
Overall, dental insurance tends not to cover cosmetic procedures, but some plans cover orthodontic care. As a result, it’s important to make sure that you understand your benefits so that you can use them to your advantage.
