Dental Insurance: What You Need To Know Before You See The Dentist

Office assistant

At Brett Blacher DDS we help patients with a wide array of dental needs and an even wider scope of questions about their dental insurance. Are you concerned about your dental health, but don’t know how to juggle your insurance plan? As your Lombard dentist we want to give you the tools you need to make the best decisions for your dental health and future. Call us at (630) 916-0701 to set up a consultation!

Debunking The Dental Insurance Myths

  • Are you making the smartest decisions about your dental health? Your first stop wouldn’t be to ask your health insurance or your bank for a diagnosis if you had a concern about your heart– you’d go see your doctor right away! Our dental team recommends only the treatments we believe you need to maintain your oral health and to support your health overall.

    When you choose the dental treatment you need, when you need it, you significantly reduce the risks of compromising your dental health later on, and you may save a significant amount of money (and stress!) by limiting the amount of restorative dental work you will need later in life.

 

  • One of the biggest misconceptions about dental insurance is believing that the dentist has the power to decide what is, and what isn’t, covered by their dental insurance plan.

    Although choosing a dentist in your network can help reduce the costs of dental care, it’s up to you to have a conversation with your insurance company to select a dental plan that fits your needs. After all, every patient is different, and so is their insurance plan. At Brett Blacher DDS we believe in helping our patients get to know what to expect before any treatment begin.

 

  • Dental insurance plans will often cover 80-90% of the preventive dental care you need, such as twice-annual cleanings and exams, but not all dental treatments are covered.

    When it comes to the finite details about patient coverage, your dentist and the front office team will do whatever they can to help, but it’s ultimately up to the relationship of the patient and their provider to have a discussion about the details of their plan.
