At Clove Dental, we’re proud to partner with Ameritas Dental Insurance to make high-quality dental care affordable and accessible. Our goal is to ensure that every patient has a seamless experience, from understanding their coverage to receiving the care they need.
Coverage Details
Ameritas Dental Insurance is designed to support your oral health by covering a variety of dental services. Here is a breakdown of typical benefits available under Ameritas PPO plans:
- Preventive Care: Routine cleanings, dental exams, sealants, and fluoride treatments are often covered at 100%. These preventive measures help you maintain optimal oral health and avoid more complex treatments in the future.
- Basic Care: Treatments such as fillings, extractions, and periodontal therapy are generally covered at 70%-80%. These services address common dental issues and keep your smile healthy.
- Major Care: More complex procedures, including crowns, bridges, dentures, and root canals, are typically covered at 50%. These treatments help restore functionality and aesthetics.
- Orthodontics: Selected Ameritas PPO plans may provide partial coverage for orthodontic treatments, such as braces or clear aligners. Coverage is often subject to a lifetime maximum.
At Clove Dental, we simplify the process by verifying your Ameritas benefits, explaining your coverage, and providing a detailed cost estimate before beginning any treatment. This ensures you understand your financial responsibility and can make informed decisions about your care.
