That means, if you have a Delta Dental plan, you can literally save hundreds on your family’s dental care every time you come to see Dr. Sarah Yarnell. To learn more about how we can use your Delta Dental plan to make taking care of your teeth more affordable than ever, read on below.
Delta Dental Insurance Basics
Many people assume that their dental insurance works just like their medical insurance, in that the best time to use it is when a problem pops up. In reality, dental insurance is actually geared towards preventing dental problems rather than treating them. This is because not only are preventive services much cheaper than restorative ones, but this approach is also much better for a person’s long-term oral health. Basically, it helps a person avoid the need for more expensive procedures over time, which is good news for both their smile and their wallet!
While there are different kinds of Delta Dental plans with varying benefits, this is how you can expect your coverage to breakdown:
- Preventive services like checkups, cleanings, X-rays, dental sealants, and fluoride treatments are completely covered for the entire year (as in two preventive appointments).
- Restorative services, such as fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, dental implants, periodontal therapy, and extractions are covered 50-80% depending on how involved a particular procedure is.
- Cosmetic services, including teeth whitening and porcelain veneers, are NOT covered because they are considered elective procedures.
So what is the takeaway from all of this? The best way to get the most out of your plan is to come in for your biannual checkups and cleanings every year!
The Benefits of Visiting an In-Network Delta Dental Dentist
When you visit an in-network Delta Dental dentist in Jonesboro like us, you’ll save a significantly larger amount on your dental care compared to visiting an out-of-network practice.
Why is this the case?
In order to be in-network with Delta Dental, we have pre-negotiated to provide our services at a reduced rate to everyone insured by them, and Delta Dental then covers part of this reduced rate. You won’t find these kinds of savings at other practices because they are basically allowed to bill your insurance whatever they want, which means you end up paying much more out-of-pocket. So, by going in-network, you can visit your dentist with the peace of mind that you’re getting the best price possible.
