What is TriStar Dental Insurance?
TriStar Insurance offers dental plans for individuals and families. These plans are made to help you stay on top of your dental health without spending too much money. Whether it's a regular cleaning or a bigger procedure, TriStar helps you pay less out of your own pocket.
Why Choose TriStar Insurance?
Taking care of your teeth before problems happen is always better. TriStar Insurance helps you do that by covering checkups and early treatments. Here's why people like using it:
- Broad coverage: TriStar Insurance covers most of the necessary services, including preventive, basic, and, in some cases, major services too.
- Provider Network: With Tristar, you can take your dental health to any of the most trusted dentists throughout the region, like Clove Dental.
- Affordable Options: These plans are budget-friendly and help you manage your dental care costs more easily.
What Does TriStar Insurance Help Pay For?
Without a doubt, TriStar offers the three major types of insurance:
- Preventive Care: This is your regular checkup, cleaning, and X-rays. These services are covered at 100% by most plans as a way to reward patients who go to the dentist on a routine basis.
- Basic Procedures: Basic procedures coverages such as fillings, extractions, and periodontal care; you can expect 70% to 80% coverage. This is also known as a copay, and it can save you thousands of dollars out-of-pocket annually.
- Major Procedures: For major treatments like crowns, bridges, and root canals, TriStar Insurance usually pays about 50% to 60%. This can dramatically reduce the cost of major dental treatment.
Understanding Key Insurance Terms
It’s important to understand the particular terms of your plan. Here are some things to look out for:
- Co-Pay: Some things you get may have a co-pay, which means you have to pay a certain amount of money at the time of your visit.
- Deductibles: The portion of the charges that you’re responsible for paying out-of-pocket before your insurance begins to pay; knowing your deductible can help you estimate the timing of your treatments.
- Annual Maximums: All insurances, including TriStar, have an annual max. This is the maximum amount your insurance will pay for in a year. Go over that limit, and you will have to pay for further services in cash.
How to Get the Most Out of Your TriStar Plan

One of the things you can do to ensure that you make the most of your TriStar Insurance is to schedule regular dental appointments.
