Contrary to what many may think, dental insurance is actually meant to be used on a routine basis. This is unlike medical insurance, which in most cases is only used when a sickness, injury or emergency is occurring and you need care right away. For example, preventive care is often the cheapest care to use because insurance companies recognize that it helps you avoid more serious problems, such as cavities or gum disease.
While every plan’s details are different, most dental insurances are broken down in the following ways:
Preventive care: Covers basic treatments like checkups, cleanings, some X-rays and sometimes fluoride application. It is typically covered between 80 and 100 percent.
Minor restorative care: Covers more substantial treatments like tooth-colored fillings and root canal therapy. This care usually covers 70 to 80 percent of your costs.
Major restorative care: Covers crowns, bridges, dentures and usually 50 to 60 percent of your treatment costs.
