Dental insurance offers benefits that are meant to be used regularly, not necessarily when a dental emergency strikes. This makes it much different than medical insurance, which is often only used when a serious illness appears or an injury occurs. It’s one of the reasons why preventive forms of care, such as cleanings and exams, are covered the most in dental plans. With that said, the way certain types of treatments are covered varies from plan to plan.

Our office is happy to be in-network with many major PPO dental plans. Being in-network essentially means we have agreed to charge a specific amount for certain treatments as contracted by the dental insurance provider. While those in-network tend to save more, out-of-network plans are still accepted at our practice and can receive comparable savings in certain cases.
