- Preventive Care: Preventive services such as routine cleanings, oral exams, fluoride treatments, and sealants are often covered at 100%. These essential treatments help detect and prevent potential issues before they become serious.
- Basic Care: Treatments such as fillings, simple extractions, and periodontal therapy are usually covered at 70%-80%, making essential restorative care more affordable.
- Major Care: For more complex procedures like crowns, bridges, dentures, and root canals, Altus Dental often covers 50% of the costs. These treatments are crucial for long-term oral health and restoring functionality.
