What to know about dental insurance

Dental Coverage

Plans typically cover preventive and basic dental care. Benefits vary by plan.

Wide selection

We offer a broad range of plans to meet your dental needs, both big and small.

Preventative Care

Regular checkups and cleanings now may prevent more serious and costly issues later.

It is a great idea to learn how dental insurance works to know why prevention and routine dental care is vital.

Dental insurance is there to provide you with accessible dental services, such as checkups, cleanings, and dental procedures. These dental coverage plans help lower dental care costs so that you can go for visits without having to incur significant financial burdens.

While it may be tempting to forgo the extra costs of dental insurance, you might face more significant dental health problems and have extensive financial outlays in the future. In fact, a recent survey found that 30% of Americans without dental insurance regretted not being covered.

Dental health insurance plans will have two categories, basic and major components.

The plan addresses basic needs like regular cleanings, root canals, or even fillings. In essence, the basic component will focus on more routine dental services. The plan will also address major services like implementing dental crowns or other extensive procedures that require more time, effort, and money.

When looking at dental health coverage options, it is necessary to understand these critical components.

There are several tiers in dental insurance; here is an overview of these tiers.

  • Tier 1: Preventative and diagnostic services like screenings, checkups, and routine dental care.
  • Tier 2: Essential restoration oriented care. These procedures can include root canals and similar care options.
  • Tier 3: Extensive restoration oriented care. These larger procedures require dental professionals to bolster your teeth in several ways.

 

Dental insurance coverage options will largely fully take on the costs of the Tier 1 procedures, will provide a large portion of assistance for the Tier 2 procedures and then provide a portion of financial assistance for Tier 3 services.

It is evident that the individual should prioritize overall care to minimize the need for Tier 2 and Tier 3 level services.

If you were to need these services, you would have to share these costs with your insurer, in many cases, and would have considerable financial outlays. If you didn’t have insurance, you would have even more costs for these second and third tiers.
