Healthy Smiles Dental Insurance Options and Coverage

Dental insurance options can be overwhelming, but understanding the basics can make a big difference in maintaining a healthy smile.

Many dental insurance plans offer a network of providers, which can range from 10,000 to 100,000 dentists across the country. This means you'll have access to a wide range of care options.

Some plans also offer a deductible, which can be as low as $50 or as high as $500, depending on the policy. This is the amount you'll pay out of pocket before insurance kicks in.

A good dental insurance plan should cover routine cleanings and exams, which are essential for preventing oral health issues.

To get started with your dental care, it's a good idea to bring completed new patient forms to your first visit to save time. We encourage all our patients to do this to help us process your information more efficiently.

As soon as we input your personal and insurance information, we'll guide you back to one of our treatment rooms for your appointment. We'll begin by taking any necessary X-rays to get a clear picture of your teeth and gums.

A thorough examination of your teeth and gums will follow, where our experienced team will assess any potential issues. We'll also remove all plaque and tartar from your teeth, as far down as the gumline, to leave your smile feeling fresh and healthy.

Before you leave, we'll polish and floss between each of your teeth, leaving your smile feeling clean and refreshed.

The cost of dental insurance can vary greatly, with some plans offering fixed copays for each service, while others have deductibles and annual maximums. In-network preventive dental services, such as oral exams and cleanings, are often covered at 100% after a copayment.

You'll need to pay a deductible before your insurance kicks in, which can range from $45 to $50 per person per benefit period. The deductible is a three-person family maximum, so if you have a larger family, you'll need to factor that in.

Preventive dental services, such as oral exams and cleanings, are often covered at 100% after a copayment, but basic services like fillings and extractions may require you to pay a percentage of the maximum allowance after deductible.

Here's a breakdown of what you might pay for different services:

Keep in mind that some plans have waiting periods for certain services, so it's essential to review the details of your plan before signing up.
