Finding a dentist isn't the only step in making the most of your dental insurance plan. You'll also want to know what benefits are included in your coverage. You can ask us questions like, "Will my insurance pay for braces or clear aligners?" It's also a good idea to touch base with your insurance company now and then to learn more about what is included in your plan. A selection of frequently asked insurance questions is listed below. Reach out to our dental professionals or your dental insurance provider to learn more.

1. How much is my yearly deductible?
2. Is there an annual out-of-pocket maximum with this plan? Are there any minimum benefits?
3. What sort of waiting periods are there for major procedures?
4. How does this plan cover replacement teeth?
5. Will the insurance company allow my dentist to use high-quality materials?
6. Is there a cap on the number of appointments I can have per year?
7. Does this plan pay for clear aligners?
8. Will I be able to get dental implants with my dental insurance?
9. If I want cosmetic dental treatment, will my plan pay for it? What about braces?
10. How much will I owe in co-pays or visit fees for each appointment?
11. Do I need to get pre-authorization before a procedure?
12. In my area, which dentist takes my insurance?

Pay attention to whether you have HMO or PPO insurance. When you visit a dentist that accepts PPO insurance, you may have to pay a co-pay for each appointment. With a PPO, it's common to have a large provider network with multiple options. With a dentist that accepts HMO insurance, you may not have a per-visit co-pay. Plus, you might spend less on your premium each month. However, you may have only a few options for which dentist to see.

No matter which type of plan you have, it makes sense to ask, "Where is there a dentist near me who accepts my insurance?" We hope that question leads you to our practice. We will be there to lend you guidance as you navigate the ins and outs of dental insurance. You can count on our expertise. We will answer your insurance questions and help you get the full benefit from your policy. Having insurance won't eliminate your out-of-pocket expenses, but it can certainly help. For the remainder of your balance, we may be able to connect you to a flexible financing plan. That can make large or surprising dental expenses more manageable.
