What Are the Advantages of Dental Insurance?
Dental insurance is worth the investment -- some of the key benefits include:
- Preventive care, which helps you avoid tooth decay and gum disease, is fully covered by dental insurance
- You can receive significant coverage on restorative dentistry treatments for decay, injury, and tooth loss as well
- Patients who have dental insurance are more likely to avoid problems that result in tooth loss and oral health issues later on
- People of all ages can benefit from dental insurance coverage
- And many more!
What Does Delta Dental Insurance Cover?
Some aspects of your dental insurance coverage will be determined at the time of enrollment, like your copay, deductible, and other features. You or your employer may want to lower your monthly premium or pay more for extra coverage. Apart from these considerations, in general, you can expect your coverage to look like this:
- Preventive services, including two checkups and cleanings per year with X-rays, are completely covered.
- Restorative dentistry is covered between 50% and 70%, depending on the complexity of the treatment.
- A portion of orthodontic treatment is usually covered by dental insurance.
- Cosmetic dentistry and other elective treatments are not eligible for coverage with dental insurance.
When you visit our dental office with dental insurance, we will perform a “verification of benefits” when we call Delta Dental directly to inquire about the terms of your plan. Based on your coverage, we can then help you make decisions to maximize your benefits.
Making the Most Out of Your Plan
Because most dental insurance plans are set on a calendar year and benefits do not roll over from one year to the next, it is important to reach as close to your annual maximum as possible during the years you reach your deductible, or the amount of money you must pay before your dental insurance will kick in.
Some of the tips we may provide for maximizing your dental insurance include:
- Scheduling and attending two checkups and cleanings per year
- Taking care of all necessary restorative care within the calendar year
- Making all decisions based on what is in the best interest of your oral health rather than on what is covered by your Delta insurance
- Maintaining excellent oral hygiene at home to avoid the need for restorative care altogether!
