Understanding How Dental Insurance Works

The way dental insurance operates is relatively simple – by paying a monthly premium, you gain access to benefits provided by a specific insurer. However, did you know that using these benefits on a regular basis (rather than only when you need them) is the best way to save money on oral healthcare costs? This is one of the reasons why preventive services (i.e. exams and cleanings) often receive the best coverage overall. It’s also a great way to reduce the risk of your child experiencing a serious dental issue that requires emergency or restorative care to resolve.

What Does My Dental Insurance Cover?

Every dental plan is unique, which is why it’s important to read them in more detail when you have time. With that said, they tend to follow a pretty similar structure that looks like the following:

  • Preventive Care – This usually includes the essentials like exams and cleanings. You will often see insurers cover between 80 to 100% of the costs for these services.
  • Minor Restorative Care – Refers to dental fillings and other minor restorative treatments like root canal therapy in most cases. Generally, coverage falls between 70 and 80%.
  • Major Restorative Care – More complex restorative services like crowns and bridges fit into this category. May be covered up to 50%.
