At Clove Dental, we believe that high-quality dental care should be accessible and affordable. If you have First Dental Health PPO insurance, we work with your plan to provide cost-effective preventive, basic, and major dental treatments.
Coverage Details
Understanding your insurance benefits is key to maximizing your dental care. First Dental Health PPO generally provides coverage as follows:
- Preventive Care: Routine exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants are often covered at 100%, helping you maintain a healthy smile.
- Basic Care: Procedures such as fillings, extractions, and deep cleanings (scaling and root planing) are usually covered at 70%-80%.
- Major Care: More complex treatments like crowns, bridges, dentures, and root canals typically receive 50% coverage, making essential treatments more affordable.
- Orthodontics: Some plans offer partial coverage for braces or clear aligners, often subject to a lifetime maximum.
At Clove Dental, we understand that insurance policies can be complex. That’s why our knowledgeable staff is here to verify your benefits, explain your coverage, and provide transparent cost estimates before starting any treatment.
