Understanding How Dental Insurance Works

Every dental insurance plan is different, but in order to understand most of them, there are a few key terms that you should know. These include:

What Does Your Dental Insurance Plan Cover?

It’s important to note that every dental insurance policy differs, so to find out what yours covers, you’ll need to contact your insurance company directly. Typically, dental insurance providers determine coverage based on a 100-80-50 structure. Basically, what this means is that they cover 100 percent of preventive treatments, like checkups and cleanings, 80 percent of minor services, like cavity fillings, and 50 percent of more serious procedures, such as tooth extractions. That means that you can save yourself from out-of-pocket costs and keep your smile healthy by staying on top of your routine dental appointments.
