When it comes to your oral health, it’s important to remember that dental insurance benefits are different from medical insurance benefits and most often don’t cover all dental services. For example, some policies cover only basic services with annual limits on benefit payments.
Still, having dental insurance helps you maintain a healthier smile along with better overall health and wellbeing. Not to mention, a well cared for smile is a confident one! Understanding how your insurance plan works allows you to receive the quality dental care you need. While basic dental insurance essentially covers preventive care and several restorative services, a more encompassing dental plan includes a wider variety of coverage, including major services.
Breaking Down Dental Coverage
There are four main categories of coverage — preventive, basic, major restorative and orthodontic care. Your typical dental insurance plan uses the 100-80-50 approach where preventive services are covered at 100%, while basic care is covered at 80% and major care is covered at 50%. So once you pay your deductible for your dental service, your insurance plan will pay out a percentage of the costs left over, as your coinsurance.
-Preventive Care: This covers services that prevent potential issues like wear and tear, disease and dysfunction. Typically, dental insurance plans cover 100% of at least two preventive care visits every year. This includes your routine dental checkups and screenings, X-rays, dental cleanings, fluoride treatments and tooth sealings.
-Basic Care: Basic dental care is partially covered by your insurance and treats problems like toothaches, dental fillings, simple tooth extractions, gum disease and root canals.
-Major Restorative Care: Dental insurance pays a percentage of the cost of a major restorative treatment involving more complex care, including crowns, implants, bridges, impacted tooth extractions, oral surgery and sedation and dentures.
Note: Insurance typically doesn’t cover orthodontic care or cosmetic procedures.
