Understanding How Dental Insurance Works

When it comes to understanding how dental insurance works, you’ll need to commit a few key terms to memory.

  • The maximum is the capped-off amount of money that your dental insurance company will pay for your treatments over the course of a calendar year.
  • The deductible is a set amount of money that you’ll be required to pay out-of-pocket before your benefits kick-in, which is pre-determined by your dental insurance company.
  • The premium is the monthly or annual amount that you pay to receive coverage.

What Does Your Dental Insurance Plan Cover?

Dental insurance plans vary from patient-to-patient, so to find out if you have specific benefits, it’s best to contact your company directly. However, they typically determine coverage based on a 100/80/50 structure. This means that they cover 100 percent of preventive care like checkups and cleanings, 80 percent of basic treatments like cavity fillings, and 50 percent of more invasive procedures like root canal therapy and tooth extractions.
