Coverage Details
First Dental Health offers a variety of dental coverage options designed to help you maintain healthy teeth and gums without exceeding your budget. Below is an overview of the coverage available under First Dental Health plans:
- Preventive Care: Most First Dental Health plans fully cover preventive care such as routine exams, cleanings, X-rays, and fluoride treatments. Preventive care is essential for keeping your smile healthy and preventing more costly issues later.
- Basic Care: First Dental Health typically covers basic dental services like fillings, simple extractions, and periodontal treatments with a low co-payment or coinsurance. Our team will help you understand your coverage and navigate your insurance benefits.
- Major Care: For more complex treatments such as crowns, bridges, dentures, and root canals, First Dental Health offers coverage that helps lower your out-of-pocket expenses. We provide pre-treatment estimates to give you a clear idea of what to expect cost-wise.
- Orthodontics: Depending on your plan, First Dental Health may offer orthodontic coverage for braces and clear aligners, making orthodontic care more affordable for both children and adults.

Kosher Foodie
We feel exceptionally comfortable with Dr. Michael Rosen‘s Dentistry expertise. We have been under his father’s care for general dentistry, hygiene, and Implants for years. We are especially impressed with his ability to make a digital impression for high-tech crown work and replacement. That’s cutting edge technology. We wouldn’t imagine going anywhere else for all our family dentistry needs.
