Understanding How Dental Insurance Works
Most dental insurance plans cover several kinds of restorative and preventive services. The amount of coverage that’s available for a given treatment can vary depending on what plan you have. Keep in mind that most dental insurance providers will not pay for cosmetic dentistry since it’s purely elective. That said, you can usually expect them to at least partially cover the cost of necessary treatments like dental crowns and root canal therapy. You’re always welcome to ask our team for more information.
What Does My Dental Insurance Cover?
Insurance plans structured around the common 100-80-50 model typically cover preventive care at 100%, minor restorative work at 80%, and major restorative procedures at 50%. Since coverage varies by provider, it's worth confirming your specific benefits with our team. Keep in mind that making the most of your preventive coverage, such as for checkups and cleanings, is one of the best ways to maintain a healthy smile and avoid costlier treatment down the road.

Financing through CareCredit
Not every treatment is covered by insurance, so it helps to know your other options. CareCredit financing is available for patients looking for a flexible way to manage costs. All you have to do is simply select a payment plan that fits your budget, and you'll be able to break your total cost into manageable monthly payments instead of paying everything at once.
