Frequently asked questions
To understand your dental insurance benefits, start by reviewing your policy documents or contacting your insurance provider directly. Our team at Sierra Smiles can also assist you in verifying your benefits and explaining what’s covered.
In-network providers have agreements with your insurance company to offer services at reduced rates, resulting in lower out-of-pocket costs for you. Out-of-network providers do not have these agreements, potentially leading to higher costs and less coverage.
Yes, dental insurance is distinct from medical insurance. Dental plans typically focus on preventive and restorative care for oral health, while medical insurance covers a broader range of healthcare services, including hospital visits, surgeries, and other medical treatments.
Dental insurance works by covering a portion of the costs for various dental services based on your plan’s benefits. You pay a monthly premium, and in return, the insurance covers a percentage of the cost for preventive, restorative, and sometimes orthodontic treatments.
Dental insurance generally covers preventive services like cleanings and exams, restorative treatments such as fillings and crowns, and sometimes orthodontics. Coverage specifics can vary, so it's best to review your plan or consult with us for detailed information.
PPO dental insurance, or Preferred Provider Organization insurance, offers flexibility in choosing your dentist. It provides partial coverage for services rendered by out-of-network providers but offers greater benefits when you use in-network dentists who have agreed to reduced fees.
Most dental insurance plans cover two cleanings and two exams per year as part of preventive care. This helps ensure you maintain good oral health and catch any issues early. Check with your plan for specific coverage details.
Coverage for dental implants varies by plan. Some insurance policies may cover a portion of the cost for dental implants, while others may not include them. Review your plan details or contact us to determine your coverage for implants.
Many dental insurance plans offer partial coverage for orthodontic treatments, including Invisalign. However, coverage levels can vary widely. It's best to check your specific policy details or consult with our team to understand your benefits for orthodontics.
