How Dental Insurance Works
Dental insurance policies are contracts between a patient and their insurer. Each one is unique to the patient, but basically, patients will pay a monthly premium in exchange for their insurer covering a percentage of the cost of preventive and restorative dental treatments. Your specific coverage will vary, but the majority of insurance policies will provide the following benefits:
- Preventive care like biannual checkups and cleanings are covered at 100%.
- Minor restorative care is around 70%-80% covered.
- Major restorative care is covered at around 50%.
What is the Difference Between Dental & Medical Insurance?
The main difference between dental and medical insurance is how people use it. Most people utilize their medical insurance coverage for prescription medications, chronic illnesses, and emergencies. Conversely, the majority of dental insurance benefits are geared toward covering the cost of preventive dentistry services. Medical insurance plans also have significantly more variation and restrictions on covered services and providers than dental policies typically do.
