Ellington Dental Insurance Coverage

Getting quality dental care at a price that fits your budget shouldn’t be stressful, but many patients say that a concern about the cost is the main reason they avoid visiting the dentist. The Zahner Dental team hopes we can remove this stress for our patients. We provide patients affordable preventive, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry to keep their smiles healthy. We are also happy to process and file dental insurance claims for most PPO benefit plans. If you want to find out more about dental insurance or financing, call our Ellington dental office today.

Benefit Basics

For regular people who don’t look at dental insurance policies on a daily basis, these documents can be more than a little confusing. Luckily for our patients, our knowledgeable team is here to help you parse through all the details. Your individual benefit plan represents an agreement to pay a certain monthly premium to your insurer. In return, your insurer pays a predetermined percentage of the cost of your necessary dental care up to an annual plan maximum.

Maximizing Your Coverage

Like our team, dental insurance providers focus coverage on prevention. To maximize your benefit plan, you should visit our office at least twice a year for preventive dental appointments. These visits typically receive 80 to 100% coverage from your insurer, so you will have minimal out of pocket costs. During preventive dental appointments, we proactively work to keep your smile healthy so you can avoid the need for more expensive procedures that receive less coverage.

Financing Options

At the time of service, we do ask that patients be ready to cover the out of pocket portion of treatment costs. We accept payment in cash, credit, and check. We are also happy to work with third party financiers like CareCredit to provide low and no interest financing plans for qualified patients. If your benefit plan includes a flexible spending account (FSA) or health savings account (HSA), you can also use these funds for dental treatments.
