Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Insurance Plans

Many of our patients find our office after asking, "Is there someone who can show me how to use my dental insurance with a dentist in Austin?" We can help you find a dentist in Austin by insurance and can provide you with guidance on how to use your plan most effectively. Your dental plan administrators, however, are the best source of answers for questions like these:

• What kinds of treatments will my dental plan cover? Are cosmetic or orthodontic treatments covered by my dental insurance?
• Is there a dentist near me who accepts my insurance?
• What is covered under my dental plan? For instance, are dental implant procedures covered? If so, how much does the dental insurance cover and how much will need to be paid out of pocket?
• Does my dental insurance cover cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or dental veneers?
• Is there a maximum annual benefit for the dental plan? What happens when that annual maximum has been met?
• How much is the deductible for the dental plan? Will I need to pay for all dental care received until I meet the deductible?
• Are high-quality materials covered under the dental insurance plan?
• What copayments are required for regular office visits? Will I need to pay a copay for other procedures?
• Are orthodontic treatments covered by the plan? Is Invisalign® one of the covered orthodontic treatment options?
• Do I need to request pre-authorization for some treatments?
• Are there limits on how often I can visit the dentist?
• Does the dental plan have a clause regarding pre-existing conditions like missing teeth or periodontal disease?

What Are the Two Types of Dental Plans?

Health maintenance organization (HMO) plans can cost much less in premiums and copayments than preferred provider organization (PPO) insurance. Each of these types of dental plans, however, offer some important benefits for patients looking for a dentist that takes insurance in Austin.

• A dentist that accepts HMO insurance is typically part of a limited network of dental care practices and professionals. This can significantly limit your ability to visit the dentist of your choice and still receive benefits under your dental plan. Austin Children's Dentistry in Austin does participate in several HMO insurance networks, which can help you answer the question, "Is there a qualified dentist near me who accepts my insurance?"
• For greater flexibility in choosing your dentist and your facility, you can select a dentist that accepts PPO insurance. These plans usually cost more in both premiums and in copayments. However, you can typically visit any dentist you wish and have at least a portion of your costs covered by your insurance.

At Austin Children's Dentistry in Austin, we accept most major dental plans and will work with you to make sure that your care is covered to the highest extent possible for every visit to our office in Austin. We work hard to be the best answer to the question, "Which dentist takes my insurance in Austin?"
