Dental Insurance -- Macedonia, OH

How Dental Insurance Works

Dental insurance coverage changes from patient to patient based on certain decisions made at the time of enrollment. While your copay, deductible, and annual maximum may vary, most dental insurance plans work like this:

• Preventive care: 100% covered. You won’t have to pay anything for your 6-month checkups and cleanings, X-rays, or other necessary preventive services.
• Restorative care: 80% to 50% covered. Depending on the complexity of the treatment being performed, you can expect your insurance to cover half the cost or more.
• Elective treatments: Dental insurance does not cover the cost of treatments which are not necessary for your oral health.
• Orthodontic treatment (including Invisalign) may also be included in your dental insurance plan.

What’s the Difference between Dental and Medical Insurance?

Unlike with medical coverage, dental insurance works with more of an emphasis on prevention. Rather than fixing problems after the fact, the goal is to stop tooth decay and gum disease from taking hold altogether. You are already paying for your preventive care upfront in the form of the monthly premium, so make sure you take advantage of it by scheduling and attending your 6-month checkups and cleanings!
