Dental Insurance – Lansing, MI
Helping You Save
the Most Money
While some patients are anxious about the treatment itself, others are more stressed about the end of the visit when the time comes to pay for their care. You should never let financial concerns stop you from pursuing a healthy smile, and at Healthy Smiles Dental Care of Lansing we’re here to help make sure that the services you need are always in reach by working with your dental insurance company. On this page, you’ll find some tips on getting the most out of your insurance benefits.
How Does Dental Insurance Work?
Most plans have a maximum amount that they’re willing to pay for dental services every year. However, not all services are covered equally. Most plans are constructed to emphasize preventive care to raise the chance of stopping complex (and potentially costly) dental issues before they have a chance to inflict real damage in the mouth. To that end, if you want to get the most out of your dental benefits, the best way to do so is to keep up with your regular preventive checkups.
What Does Dental Insurance Cover?
Most dental plans are set up to pay about 80 to 100 percent of the cost of cleanings, checkups, and other services meant to prevent oral health issues. The coverage for minor restorations is normally around 70 to 80 percent. Major services like crowns and bridges generally receive the least coverage, but your company will still most likely pay at least half the cost of treatment. Each plan is different, so be sure to review your benefits; we can go over your plan with you if you have questions.
