UnitedHealthcare Coverage Availability & Fees
Most dental insurance companies offer a simple, easy-to-understand breakdown of coverage:
- 100% coverage for preventive services, including general exams and dental cleanings
- 80% coverage for basic restorative services, including dental fillings and simple extractions
- 50% coverage for major restorative services, including dental crowns, dentures, dental bridges
You will be unlikely to see coverage for cosmetic dental care. Orthodontics may be included, but if not, you will need to purchase a supplemental plan if you believe you or someone in your family might require braces in the future.
As long as you make your monthly premium payment and have sufficient annual maximum funds available, you can expect your dental insurance to help cover all or a portion of your total bill.
The Benefits of Seeing an In-Network Dentist
It is ultimately your decision as to whether you choose to see an in-network dentist. However, what you may not realize is that there are many benefits to putting your smile in the hands of someone who is already partnered with your insurance company, such as:
- You don’t have to worry about the billing process. Instead, it is completely streamlined and handled by our team. This takes the burden off of you and allows us to ensure all paperwork is completed in preparation for your insurance to approve and pay their portion of your bill.
- The ability to save on out-of-pocket costs, regardless of whether you receive a general exam and cleaning, dental crown, root canal, or tooth extraction.
- A dentist who maintains the highest possible standards and abides by the necessary conduct required by insurance companies.
- A predictable estimate when learning about your necessary treatment. Our team can take care of the legwork beforehand, talking with your insurance company, to find out how much your treatment and out-of-pocket expenses will be.
