Is Dental Insurance Like Medical Insurance?

Contrary to popular belief, dental insurance doesn’t operate in the same way as traditional medical insurance. While medical insurance gives you the peace of mind that emergencies will be covered, dental insurance helps you avoid the majority of situations that unexpectedly land you in the dental chair. This is in large part why dental insurance plans cover basic preventive treatments like exams, cleanings, and X-rays. These treatments, along with at-home oral care, dramatically reduce your risk of experiencing a dental emergency.

Confirming Your Dental Plan’s Coverage

Every insurance plan comes with its own terms, which is why it’s important to get into contact with your provider on the benefits of your plan before your scheduled treatment. In most cases, the breakdown of your coverage looks pretty similar to this:

  • Preventive essentials, including cleanings and checkups, are covered at 100%.
  • Minor restorative treatments, which can be as minor as tooth-colored fillings or as complex as root canal therapy, typically carry a coverage of 70% to 80%.
  • Those in need of dentures, crowns, or bridges, which constitute as major restorative treatments, are covered between 50% and 60%.
  • Most cosmetic procedures do not receive coverage of any kind because they are not typically deemed medically necessary.
