Facts Everyone Should Know About Dental Insurance:

We recognize that dental insurance plays a role in helping many patients obtain dental treatment.  In our effort to provide the highest quality dental care possible, we would like to share some facts about dental insurance with you.

Fact #01:
Many insurance companies use an alternative treatment option which gives them the “right” to pay for a less expensive procedure or material if it is an insurance clerk’s sole opinion that the less expensive procedure is O.K. for you.  Amazing!!
 
Fact #02:
Some insurance companies tell you that the Doctor’s fees are above the “usual and customary” fee, rather than saying their benefits are low or below average.  The less you get paid after treatment, the more the insurance company profits.
 
Fact #03:
Dental insurance is actually not insurance as most people recognize it.  There is no deductible, and the insurance company does not pay a fixed percentage of the bill.  It would be correct to call Dental insurance an "annual dental benefit" of $1,000.00 - $1,500.00 provided by employers to employees for preventive and minor needs.

Fact #04:
Your annual limit of benefits has not risen in more than 25 years!
 
Fact #05:
Many companies tell you that you are covered for 80-100%, but do not explain that this percentage is based on a daily fluctuating fee schedule that is not published or given to anyone outside of the insurance company - even you.
 
Fact #06:
Many accepted and routine services are not covered by insurance carriers even if these procedures would save the insurance company money in the long run.  (i.e. adult sealants or fluoride treatment)
