Instead, you can focus on your child and help them have a good experience in our comfortable dental office.
How Dental Insurance Works
Although most dental insurance plans do provide some coverage for treating certain problems, in general, dental insurance is primarily focused on prevention. One of the best ways to maximize your benefits and save money on your child’s oral care is to bring them to our dental office for checkups and cleanings every six months. These visits are typically covered in full and can keep cavities and other issues from hurting your child’s smile and your wallet.
What Your Dental Insurance Covers
Every plan is different and can vary in coverage from the next one, making any sweeping statement about benefits difficult. However, dental insurance plans tend to follow this general trend:
- Preventive services (e.g., checkups and cleanings, fluoride treatment) are usually 100 percent covered.
- Minor restorative care (e.g., tooth-colored fillings) is usually 70 to 80 percent covered.
- Major restorative care (e.g., crowns) is usually 50 percent covered.
Many dental insurances also partially cover necessary orthodontic services as well, reducing the cost of your child’s treatment. We can review your plan and let you know what your benefits are.
In-Network Savings & Out-of-Network Providers
Sometimes the terminology in dental insurance can be challenging to sort out. What does it mean to be “in-network”? Basically, it means that we’ve agreed to a discounted rate for some services with your dental insurance company, and some of those savings are passed on to you.
At Wash Park Pediatric Dentistry, we are proud to be in-network with several providers, includingUnitedHealthcare, Guardian, MetLife, Careington, and more. To find out if we are in-network with your specific dental insurance plan, give our dental office a call!
