DENTAL INSURANCE
According to most dental insurance companies, dental procedures are broken down into three categorie
:
- Preventative: Most insurance companies consider routine cleanings and examinations as preventative dental care, however, X-rays, sealants, and fluoride can be deemed as preventative or basic, depending upon the specific insurance carrier.
- Basic or Restorative: Basic or restorative dental treatment usually consists of fillings and simple extractions. Some insurance companies consider root canals basic, while others list it as major.
- Major: Crowns, bridges, dentures, partials, surgical extractions, and dental implants are dental procedures that most dental insurance companies consider as a major procedure.
