Insurance Providers

Children's Dental & Orthodontics

Investing in dental insurance for your child is an important ingredient in helping them achieve and maintain a happy, healthy smile that lasts a lifetime. Kids are eligible for the same preventive and restorative dental treatments as you are — and maybe even more. If your little one is covered by Delta Dental insurance, keep reading to find out how the team at Children’s Dental & Orthodontics can help you maximize your investment to protect your favorite growing smile!

Children’s Dental Insurance

Your little one’s smile has different needs from your own. His or her tooth enamel will not have fully hardened until age 14 or so, and until that time it will be more vulnerable to tooth decay. Helping your little one brush, floss, and maintain healthy eating habits can help them steer clear of cavities — and so can taking advantage of their Delta Dental coverage by visiting the dentist every six months.

Your child’s coverage includes two free checkups and cleanings per year (just like your own) and often access to dental sealants and topical fluoride treatments as well. These preventive treatments significantly aid in cavity-protection for growing smiles, which makes them well worth the coverage cost for Delta Dental and other insurance providers.

If your little one requires restorative dental care at some point during childhood, like for a cavity or dental injury, you can expect Delta Dental to cover from 50% to 80% of the bill. You will simply pay the amount you owe at the time of your child’s appointment — we will file the claim and receive the full payment later on. That’s a big advantage of visiting an in-network dentist as opposed to one who is out-of-network, which will often require you to pay fees out of pocket and wait for reimbursement to come weeks or months later.

Insurance Coverage Helps Build Healthy Smiles

The benefits of ensuring your child’s smile with Delta Dental or any other insurance plan are many, and they include the following:

  • Preventive coverage helps your little one steer clear of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health hazards that can have an impact on their overall smile health.
  • Early detection aids in the easiest, most conservative treatment of any existing issues.
  • Positive experiences at the dentist from a young age help to put your little one on the road to a lifetime of regular dental care.
  • Orthodontic issues caught at an early age through regular preventive care can reduce future treatment times with braces or eliminate the need for them altogether.
  • There are no claims forms to fill out or reimbursements to wait for when you visit an in-network dentist.

How Assurant Dental Insurance Works

Like most dental insurance, Assurant is a fee-for-service plan that works with a monthly premium that usually ranges around $50. In exchange for this amount, you and your loved ones can receive significant discounts on the services patients of all ages need to enjoy a clean, healthy smile for a lifetime to come.

Patients of all ages can benefit from Assurant dental insurance — and that is why we are happy to accept it at Children’s Dental & Orthodontics! Visiting an in-network dentist is a great way to make the most out of this insurance plan. When you bring your child in for a service that is fully covered (more on that below), you will not have to pay anything at all. For anything else, simply pay the amount you do owe at the time of the appointment. We will file the claim and receive the full payment later on!

What Assurant Covers

Preventive dental care is a significant focus of any dental insurance plan. Children and adults alike are eligible to receive two checkups and cleanings for “free” as part of Assurant’s benefits. Additional preventive treatments that are important for children, like dental sealants and topical fluoride treatments, may be covered as well. If your little one needs to have a filling or other restorative treatment, basic care is usually covered up to 80%. You may be responsible for 50% of the cost of more complex restorative treatments.

We Love Dental Insurance

Are you confused about your child’s coverage? We can help you figure out what’s what when it comes to dental insurance — our team members are experts on this topic. When you bring your little one to our office with Assurant dental insurance, we will begin by performing a verification of benefits to help you understand just what your child is eligible for, how much you have left towards your yearly deductible, and any other important information.

Your child can receive the very same dental insurance coverage as you can. Just like having dental insurance helps you afford the preventive care that keeps your own smile healthy, children who are covered by insurance plans are more likely to benefit from the treatments that help them have healthier teeth with fewer cavities. Blue Cross Blue Shield is one of the many dental insurance plans we accept here at Children’s Dental and Orthodontics—keep reading to learn more about how your insurance coverage works at our office!

How Blue Cross Blue Shield Dental Insurance Works

Blue Cross Blue Shield is a popular provider of dental insurance for families in our area. It is a typical fee-for-service plan, which means that you pay upfront for discounts and “free” dental care throughout the year. Since you are paying for it anyway through your monthly premium payments, it makes sense to take advantage of the benefits you are your children are eligible for under your plan: like basic preventive and restorative services.

Most plans work like this:

  • Preventive care is covered 100%. This includes two checkups and cleanings per year. Children are often eligible for additional preventive treatments like dental sealants and topical fluoride treatments.
  • Restorative dental services are covered from 50% to 80%, depending on the complexity of the treatment. You will be expected to pay the amount you owe at the time your child receives the service.
  • Orthodontics may receive partial coverage as well.
Children’s Dentistry Focuses on Prevention

The most important aspect in your child’s dental health plan is prevention. Kids are most vulnerable to developing cavities between the ages of 6 and 14 when their tooth enamel is still forming and hardening. Your child’s dentist will work to help them steer clear of tooth decay with dental sealants and fluoride treatments as well as friendly education on how to brush and floss properly at home.

Stretching Your Child’s Benefits

Positive dental experiences from a young age will help put your child on the path to a lifetime of happy, healthy smiles. Using your dental insurance plan to your advantage is the best way to help ensure that occurs. To stretch your benefits for the good of your family’s smiles, make sure you schedule the whole family a checkup and cleaning every six months! During this visit, we will check for the evidence of tooth decay and infection while also cleaning away the plaque and tartar that cause these and other issues. Prevention is a smile’s best friend—so don’t skip out on it!

How MetLife Works

MetLife dental insurance works like most other insurance plans in that you or your employer pay for dental care upfront in the form of a monthly premium. The whole family can be covered by MetLife, and your coverage may vary slightly depending on how much you pay as a premium. After you have met your annual deductible, or the amount you must pay out-of-pocket before benefits will kick in, you will have an annual maximum—or the limit that your dental insurance will pay towards care in a calendar year.

Plus, our team of experts is always on hand to talk you through dental insurance details that can be confusing or difficult to understand.

Children Need Prevention (And So Do You)

Because it is a crucial aspect of every healthy smile, dental insurance plans focus on preventive dental care. Children and adults alike should visit the dentist at least every six months for a checkup and cleaning. With dental insurance, these visits are totally “free” because you have already paid for them through your monthly premiums. Do not let these important benefits slip away! During the twice-annual exam, your child’s dentist will check for the evidence of tooth decay, infection, and other oral health issues that may develop at a young age. If any problems are detected, we will then put together a plan to get their oral health back on track ASAP! Regular dental care is crucial for putting your little one on the path to a lifetime of happy, healthy smiles.
