Insurance, in plain English

How dental insurance actually works.

Most PPO plans follow a simple 100 / 80 / 50 rule. Once you see it, your benefits stop being a mystery.
100%

Preventive care

Routine cleanings, exams and X-rays. The stuff that keeps you out of the chair for the bigger things.

Cleanings · exams · X-rays

80%

Basic care

The common repairs: fillings, simple extractions, and many root canals. Insurance usually covers most of it.

Fillings · extractions · root canals

50%

Major care

The bigger restorative work like crowns, bridges and dentures. Coverage is real, but you split the cost more evenly.

Crowns · bridges · dentures

Deductible

A small amount you pay first each year before insurance starts chipping in, like a cover charge for your benefits.

Annual maximum

The most your plan will pay in a year. Hit the cap and you cover the rest, so timing bigger work matters.

In-network

Stay in your plan's network (that's us, for most PPOs) and your out-of-pocket cost drops. We file the claim for you.

Benefits reset every year, and most go unused.Your annual maximum doesn’t roll over. If you’ve got coverage left for the year, now’s the time to use it. We’ll help you make the most of it before it disappears.

No insurance? No problem.

How does dental insurance work?

Most PPO plans follow a 100 / 80 / 50 model: they cover 100% of preventive care (cleanings, exams, X-rays), around 80% of basic work like fillings, and about 50% of major work like crowns and bridges.

Two numbers shape your cost: your deductible (a small amount you pay first each year) and your annual maximum (the most the plan will pay in a year). We verify all of this for you before treatment so there are no surprises.

What does my plan actually cover?

It depends on your specific plan, but the pattern is consistent: preventive care is almost always fully covered, basic procedures are mostly covered, and major work is split closer to 50/50.

Give us your carrier and member ID and we’ll pull a full breakdown: what’s covered, what’s left on your annual max, and your exact out-of-pocket, before you commit to anything.

What is a PPO plan, and why only PPO?

PPO stands for Preferred Provider Organization. PPO plans let you see any dentist without a referral, and you save the most by staying in-network (that’s us, for most major carriers).

We accept PPO plans only. We’re not currently in-network with HMO/DHMO, Medicaid, or CHIP plans, which require you to use a single assigned provider. If you’re not sure which you have, run it through the checker or call us, since many patients have a PPO and don’t realize it.

What if you're out-of-network with my plan?

Most PPO plans still pay out-of-network benefits, often nearly the same as in-network. We’ll look up your out-of-network coverage and tell you the real difference before you decide.

Just share your carrier name and member ID and we’ll give you a full breakdown, no obligation.

I don't have insurance. What are my options?

Plenty. The Enamel Dental Plan is our in-house membership: one yearly price covers your cleanings and exams and discounts everything else, with no deductibles, no annual maximums, no claim forms.

We also offer low-monthly-payment financing for larger treatment plans and accept FSA/HSA dollars. Most patients find a comfortable path forward.

Do you verify my benefits before my visit?

Yes, and it’s free. Once you share your insurance details, our team confirms your coverage, your remaining annual maximum, and your estimated out-of-pocket so your first statement matches what we told you. No surprises.
