How Dental Insurance Works

As long as you keep up with the premiums, your dental plan will provide coverage for a wide variety of treatments meant to protect oral health. Most of the time, coverage looks like this:

100% coverage for preventive services, including cleanings, checkups, and X-rays.
80% coverage for minor restorative treatments, like periodontal therapy and fillings.
50% coverage for major restorative procedures, such as root canals and dentures.

What is the Difference Between Dental and Medical Coverage?

Medical coverage is mostly used for health problems that have already occurred, but dental insurance is more concerned with stopping health issues from happening in the first place. Paying for preventive care in the present reduces the need for more expensive care in the future; on average, it’s estimated that every $1 you spend on checkups and other forms of preventive care could save you between $8 and $50 on restorative and emergency services, making it the more cost-effective option in the long run.
