How to Make The Most of Your Dental Insurance Plan

Each insurance plan allows only a limited amount of dollar amount for dental treatment each year. Most of the time, the allowable amount is not enough to cover extensive dental treatment. Great things you can do to make the most of your dental plan are some of the following:

1. Find out limitations of your dental plan: its maximum amount allowed for dental treatment and copays.
2. Find out what is your calendar year for your insurance plan. Unfortunately, numerous patients do not realize insurance benefits for each year cannot be carried over to the next year. The bottom line is: what the patient does not use, they lose.
3. Find out what services are covered by your insurance dental plan. Not all necessary  services may be covered.

What if I don’t have dental insurance?

To keep dentistry affordable, patients without dental insurance can apply for dental payment plans. The two we suggest are Lincoln Dental Plans and CareCredit. Lincoln Dental Plans is a dental discount plan that makes any of our locations seem like a cheap dentist! The most significant difference, however, is that they’re able to do this without sacrificing high-quality dental care. Click the link to their website or give us a call to learn more.

On the other hand, CareCredit will allow you to pay for any treatment you need upfront! They’re able to do this by acting as a credit card. You pay what you need upfront, and you can then pay it off each month like a credit card.

What if my dental insurance doesn’t cover my treatment?

This is one of our most frequently asked questions. Unfortunately, most dental insurance isn’t like health insurance. It isn’t built to cover the full cost of  your treatments. Instead, it’s important not to base your treatment on what your insurance covers. Similarly, you should be aware of what your insurance plan does cover so you can be sure to use it efficiently. If you have any questions about your insurance plan, please give us a call. We’re happy to help!
