How Dental Insurance Works
Dental insurance companies generally provide coverage for two overarching types of care: preventive and restorative services. The former is used to reduce the risk of cavities, dental decay, damage, and infection, while the latter is used to treat these common oral health problems. A typical breakdown of the type of coverage dental insurance companies may provide includes:
- 100% preventive services (i.e., dental exams and cleanings)
- 80% minor restorative services (i.e., dental fillings)
- 50% major restorative services (i.e., dental crowns, tooth extractions)
What is the Difference Between Dental and Medical Insurance?
If your child suffers from an illness or accident, your medical insurance plan will likely provide the greatest level of coverage. Regular visits to a pediatrician are unlikely to help you save as much, but if they need to be hospitalized or require outpatient treatment, your wallet will thank you.
If you commit to helping them maintain their oral health through preventive care, your insurance company will reward you with greater coverage. This is because reducing their risk of serious oral health problems will ultimately help you save in the long run.
In-Network vs. Out-of-Network
When a dentist agrees to be in-network with a dental insurance company, it may limit the care available to you within your budget. This is not well-suited if you need extensive treatment, as you remain constrained by your insurance coverage.
At Trinity Pediatric Dentistry, we welcome PPO dental insurance plans and will file all the necessary paperwork and claims. This ensures your child receives the care they need and that your benefits are fully maximized.
