How Dental Insurance Works
Every dental insurance plan is unique, so they each come with their set of rules and restrictions. It would be worth your time to familiarize yourself with the details of your specific policy. Many of our patients have PPO plans. Here is an overview of standard PPO coverage:
- Preventive care, such as cleanings and checkups, is often up to 100% covered.
- Minor services, often including fillings and non-surgical extractions, may be around 80% covered.
- Major treatments, like dentures and crowns, may be around 50% covered.
- Orthodontia is up to 50% covered on select premium plans.
- Cosmetic procedures are generally not covered.
What Is the Difference Between Dental & Medical Insurance?
Medical insurance is geared toward overall systemic health, so it covers a range of services that affect head-to-toe wellness. However, it does not cover preventive and routine dental care, such as cleanings, checkups, fillings, and more. Dental insurance, on the other hand, focuses strongly on preventive and routine oral care. In some cases, there is a bit of crossover between medical and dental insurance. For example, they both might cover certain types or oral surgery.
In-Network vs. Out-of-Network
If you have a PPO dental insurance plan, you are free to visit virtually any dentist, regardless of whether they are in your plan’s network. At Aveni Dental Professionals, we welcome both in-network and out-of-network patients.
In-Network Coverage
If we are in-network with your plan, it means we have a contract with your insurance company that controls prices and encourages a certain level of care. Often, out-of-pocket fees are lowest at in-network practices.
Our practice is proud to be in-network with:
- Delta Dental
- BlueCross BlueShield
- MetLife
- Cigna
- United Healthcare

- And more! Call us to ask if we accept your particular plan. The chances are good that we do!
Out-of-Network
Even if we are out of your plan’s network, you may still be able to use your PPO benefits in our practice. Our team will be happy to help you understand your benefits and file claims. You may get to enjoy many of the same perks that you would at an in-network practice. Remember, the most important thing is to choose a dental team that is worthy of your trust!
