Understanding How Dental Insurance Works
While medical insurance is more about helping people deal with unexpected health issues (a car wreck or heart attack), dental insurance is notably different, in that its main focus is prevention. The idea is that by making routine care easily affordable, a patient will be able to stop most dental issues before they start and take care of minor ones early. In the end, this approach results in a healthier mouth and less money spent on dental care overall—a big win-win for policyholders.
What Your Dental Insurance Plan Covers
Most dental insurance plans follow what is called the “100-80-50” structure, which looks something like this:
- Preventive care (checkups, cleanings, X-rays) is covered 100%
- Basic restorative care (fillings, bonding) is covered 80%
- Advanced restorative care (crowns, dentures, root canals) is covered 50%
Because cosmetic procedures like veneers and whitening are elective, they typically are not covered by insurance. Based on these numbers, this is why we recommend that most patients primarily use their plans to pay for preventive services.
