Understanding How Dental Insurance Works

The main focus of most dental insurance plans is prevention. Treatments that are intended to stop problems like cavities and chipped teeth from occurring tend to receive the most coverage. While you can still use insurance to help pay for procedures that fix issues like decay and dental injuries, the coverage usually isn’t as much compared to preventive care. This is why we recommend that all of our patients primarily use their plans to pay for preventive services.

What Your Dental Insurance Plan Covers

While every dental plan is unique, many follow what is known as the “100-80-50” model, which resembles something like this:

  • Preventive treatments are covered 100% (checkups, cleanings, X-rays)
  • Basic restorative treatments are covered 80% (fillings, bonding)
  • Advanced restorative treatments are covered 50% (crowns, bridges, dentures)

How these categories work will vary from policy to policy, so be sure to go over your plan before you assume a procedure will be covered.
