We Welcome All Dental Insurance

Dental insurance is one of the most effective ways to pay for preventive treatments without breaking the bank. Of course, you can also save money on treatments by having a dental plan, especially if it’s in-network with our dental office. Dr. Crofoot accepts multiple PPO plans and our team members are more than happy to help you navigate the many details of your policy. We’ll also go out of our way to make sure you’re getting the most bang for your buck when it comes time to pay for treatment.

Understanding How Dental Insurance Works

Dental insurance claims process

Unlike medical insurance, dental insurance is meant to be used on a regular basis. Medical insurance is typically reserved for emergencies, serious injuries or illnesses, while dental insurance is mostly used to cover the cost of preventive treatments. With routine checkups, cleanings and x-rays, you can avoid the majority of dental emergencies and save money on restorative or emergency treatments. It’s just part of staying proactive on your oral health in the long-term!

What Your Dental Insurance Plan Covers

Your dental insurance is going to be quite different compared to other plans, which is why it’s always important to look over the details either on your insurance provider’s website or over the phone with an agent. However, most dental plans do cover treatments in largely the same way. The breakdown typically looks like this:

The essentials, which includes preventive care like checkups, cleanings and x-rays, is covered close to or at 100%.
Minor restorative care, which focuses on tooth-colored fillings or root canal therapy, is covered between 70 and 80%.
Major restorative care, or crowns, dentures, and bridges, is covered at 50 to 60%.
Cosmetic treatments are rarely covered under dental insurance.

Being in-network simply means that we have agreed to predetermined fees for specific services. These fees are generally lower than what you would pay if you were out-of-network, but that isn’t always the case. There are instances where the out-of-network rate is actually comparable to what you’d pay for being in-network.
