Dental insurance plans vary widely, and for this reason what is covered in one plan may be very different than what is covered in another. However, most general dental insurance plans will cover at least:
-
1. Many dental plans cover regular dental cleaning
2. Many dental plans cover fillings and crowns
3. Many dental plans cover emergency tooth replacements
4. Many dental plans cover non_cosmetic oral surgeries
5. Many dental plans cover dental x_rays
What typically does a dental insurance policy cover?
Dental insurance has many different levels of cover. You can opt for basic dental health maintenance which will cover a portion (occasionally the whole cost) of certain procedures such as fillings, root canal work and general maintenance. More extensive policies will cover extensive periodontics, orthodontics, oral prosthetics, oral surgery, all sorts of filling, tooth and bridge work, as well as check-ups and cleaning. There are usually no waiting period or cover maximums if you have a comprehensive policy.
