Dear Dental Patient,

Dental plans have changed significantly over the past few years. We notice that many dental patients, however, are not aware of the changes that have occurred in their dental plans.

Unfortunately, when services are not covered by a dental plan, you may assume that a dental office billed the treatment incorrectly or provided unnecessary services. This can put a dental team in an awkward situation of having to defend dental treatment that was done with your best oral health in mind.

The Patient Support Center offers answers to patient questions we hear throughout the year. Our goal is to help you understand the role of dental insurance as you strive for a lifetime of good oral health. Today's dental plans are designed to assist patients with dental treatment. It is important to remember that necessary services are not necessarily covered. Your dentist's goal is to make sure you have healthy teeth long after you change dental plans.
