We Welcome All Dental Insurance
If you have dental insurance, then you probably already know it can be used to cover your regular checkups and cleanings, but what about oral surgery? What kind of benefits do you have for wisdom tooth extractions, dental implants, etc.? Fortunately, most dental plans do offer coverage for surgical procedures, and at Wisdom Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, we’ll not only accept your plan, but we’ll also show you the best way to maximize it. You can always give us a call to learn how we can use your particular plan, and below, you’ll find our quick and easy guide to insurance.
Will Dental Insurance Cover Oral Surgery?
Primarily, dental insurance plans are focused on prevention. The idea is that by helping people afford routine care like checkups and cleanings, they’ll be able to avoid more serious dental issues as well as the expensive procedures required to fix them. However, most plans do offer benefits for oral surgery as well, meaning if you or your child needs a more complicated procedure, you won’t be stuck paying for it all out of pocket.
What Your Dental Insurance Plan Covers (Probably)
The goal of our office is to provide you with the best possible care and treatment based upon your examination and symptoms, not based just upon insurance benefits.
We will help in filing claims with your insurance carrier as a service to you. The portion of the bill not covered by your insurance plan is your responsibility. We will do our best to help you understand your coverage, but you may also need to contact your insurance carrier directly.
Understanding the wisdom teeth removal cost with insurance is crucial for those planning to undergo this common dental procedure. Insurance coverage for wisdom teeth extraction can vary significantly depending on the provider and the specific plan. Typically, dental insurance plans may cover a portion of the procedure. However, patients should be aware that there might be limitations or exclusions, such as coverage only for impacted teeth or a cap on the amount reimbursed.
It’s important to review your insurance policy to determine what portion of the wisdom teeth removal cost with insurance will be covered and what will be your out-of-pocket responsibility. Some plans may require a that the claim be sent to your medical carrier first for coverage or a denial prior to providing benefits. In this case, your will be responsible for the payment in full at the time of surgery and will be reimbursed if the insurance remits payment.
