Dental Insurance – Waverly, OH
Maximizing Your Benefits for Affordable Dental Care
You might have dental insurance, but are you making the most of it? Most people don’t end up using their benefits to the fullest, meaning they let valuable dental dollars go to waste each year. We accept nearly all dental insurance plans here at Corcoran Privitera Family Dental, and we’d be more than happy to explain your benefits to you and make sure you’re getting as much coverage on your care as possible. Below, you’ll find a basic primer on using your dental insurance in Waverly at our dental practice!
Understanding How Dental Insurance Works
Dental insurance isn’t quite the same as medical insurance. Rather than primarily paying for treatment after a problem arises, your plan likely focuses on treatments that are meant to stop oral health issues from developing to begin with. The idea is that if tooth decay, gum disease, and other concerns can be avoided in the early stages, you won’t need to pay for costlier procedures later on. So, the best way to make the most of your dental insurance is to schedule regular preventive checkups.
What Does My Dental Insurance Cover?
Every policy is slightly different – and our team will gladly explain the details of yours – but most of them cover preventive care, like dental exams and teeth cleanings, at 100%. Restorative treatments, such as crowns and fillings, can range from 50% to 80% coverage depending on how extensive they are. You typically won’t receive any coverage for teeth whitening or other cosmetic dentistry services since they’re considered elective.
Our In-Network Dental Insurance Providers
If a dental office is in-network with your dental insurance provider, it means they have agreed to charge set rates on certain services. In turn, your insurance carrier will cover the maximum amount possible under your plan, minimizing your out-of-pocket expenses. Our practice is in-network with a wide range of PPO dental plans, although we also accept out-of-network policies.
