How Dental Insurance Works
MetLife dental insurance is one of the larger providers in the United States, and many of our patients benefit from the insurance plan. We stay up to date with the latest changes with MetLife to help you make the most out of your plan.
Dental insurance works like your medical insurance, but with more emphasis on prevention. Your insurance plan should cover two dental checkups and teeth cleanings per year as well as annual x-rays, fluoride treatments, and maybe dental sealants for younger patients. These preventive treatments are crucial aspects of healthy smiles -- and when you take advantage of them, you are far more likely to enjoy long-lasting oral health for a lifetime.
During the dental checkup and teeth cleaning, we may find that you need restorative treatments like tooth-colored fillings, root canal therapy, or a dental crown. If so, your dental insurance should cover a significant portion of these services, because finding a prompt, effective solution is important for preventing more significant issues, like tooth loss, later on. If you do need restorative care, our staff will talk you through your options and help you determine how to make sure your dental insurance pays for as much of it as possible.
