We Work With Your Insurance
What Is Dental Insurance?
Dental insurance is a plan that helps cover the cost of preventive, basic, and major dental services. Most plans cover routine cleanings and exams at little to no cost, while treatments like fillings, crowns, and root canals are typically covered at a percentage depending on your plan.
Every plan is different, so it’s important to understand your specific coverage, annual maximums, and any waiting periods that may apply. Our team at Dr. Big Smilez is happy to break it all down for you in plain language so you know exactly what to expect before any treatment begins.
