What Dental Insurance Typically Covers

Dental insurance helps you manage routine care and more complex dental needs while keeping out-of-pocket costs predictable. Coverage varies by plan, but most policies are designed to encourage preventive care and reduce the cost of treatment.

Preventive Care

Covers routine exams, cleanings, and X-rays to help maintain healthy teeth and gums. These services are often covered at little to no cost to encourage early detection and prevention.
