How Dental Insurance Works
To enroll in a dental insurance plan, you can go through your employer or purchase one privately. No matter which one you choose, you can expect these plans to all bear the same goal, which is to help you save money while pursuing healthier teeth and gums.
While many people assume that dental and health insurance are the same, they are not. If you keep reading, you’ll learn why.
What is the Difference Between Dental and Medical Insurance?
Dental insurance focuses on prevention. Your oral health serves as a gateway to the rest of your body. When problems form inside the mouth, it can quickly interfere with your internal organs, memory, etc. Giving patients the greatest amount of coverage for preventive services (i.e., dental exams and cleanings) reduces the potential for more invasive restorative treatments later on.
Health (medical) insurance, on the other hand, focuses on providing policyholders with the greatest savings after something happens. While you may not receive much financial help when seeing a doctor for a wellness visit, you can expect to receive greater savings should you break your arm, have a baby, or need hospitalization for a serious ailment.
In-Network vs. Out-of-Network
When it comes to learning more about the details of dental insurance, there are two key components you should remember: in-network and out-of-network. Both can be beneficial depending on your needs and preferences, so take a few moments to learn why one might be better than the other if you’re looking to save on oral healthcare.
In-Network Coverage
The term “in-network” means that a dentist is in partnership with a particular dental insurance company. Through negotiations, established fees are set for various services provided. Once you meet your annual deductible, your dental insurer will then agree to pay more for certain treatment options (i.e., root canals, dental crowns, dental fillings, etc.).
We are pleased to be in-network with:

Out of Network
If you are not enrolled in a plan with one of the above-mentioned dental insurance providers, you can still save money when visiting your dentist’s office. Our team will be happy to file your claims and help you get the maximum reimbursement. This is our commitment to you, that you not only obtain a healthier smile but also at a lower price.
