Coverage Details for Premera Insurance
Premera Insurance offers a variety of plans to meet individual and family dental needs. Coverage typically depends on your specific plan, but the general benefits for PPO dental plans are outlined below:
1. Preventive Care (Often Covered at 100%)
Preventive services help maintain optimal oral health and reduce the need for extensive treatments later.
Examples include:
- Routine dental cleanings
- Fluoride treatments
- Dental sealants for children
- X-rays for diagnostic purposes
Preventive care is often fully covered by Premera PPO plans, with no out-of-pocket costs for patients.
2. Basic Care (Covered at 70%-80%)
Basic dental treatments address common oral health issues. Coverage levels usually range between 70% and 80%.
Examples include:
- Tooth-colored fillings for cavities
- Tooth extractions
- Deep cleanings (Scaling and Root Planing)
Patients are responsible for a small percentage of the total cost, which varies depending on the specific Premera plan.
3. Major Care (Covered at 50%)
Major dental procedures are typically covered at 50%, making advanced treatments more affordable.
Examples include:
- Dental crowns
- Bridges for missing teeth
- Dentures (partial or full)
- Root canals
4. Orthodontics (Varies by Plan)
Orthodontic treatments like braces or Invisalign may be partially covered under certain Premera plans, often subject to a lifetime maximum benefit. If orthodontic care is important to you, let our team verify if your plan includes this benefit.
How to Verify Your Premera Insurance Benefits
Verifying your insurance benefits doesn’t have to be a hassle. At Clove Dental, we offer complimentary insurance verification services to help you get clarity about your plan. Here's how it works:

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Premera PPO mean?
Premera PPO plans allow you to visit any licensed dentist, but you’ll save the most when you choose an in-network provider like Clove Dental.
Does Premera cover cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening?
Most Premera plans do not cover cosmetic procedures. However, treatments like teeth whitening can be discussed with our team, and we’ll help you explore affordable options.
How do I know if a treatment requires pre-authorization?
Certain procedures, like major dental work or orthodontics, may require pre-authorization. Our team will handle the process and inform you if additional steps are needed.
