Coverage Details
Principal Financial dental plans provide extensive coverage for a range of dental treatments, allowing patients to receive necessary care without financial stress. Here’s an overview of common coverage categories:
- Preventive Care: Routine exams, professional cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants are often covered at 100%. Preventive care is essential for maintaining oral health and preventing costly dental issues.
- Basic Care: Procedures like fillings, simple extractions, and deep cleanings (scaling and root planing) are typically covered at 70%-80%. These treatments help address minor dental concerns before they develop into more serious problems.
- Major Care: For services like crowns, dentures, bridges, and root canals, Principal Financial generally covers around 50% of the treatment cost. This makes advanced dental care more accessible and affordable for families in Oxnard.
- Orthodontics: Many Principal Financial plans offer partial coverage for orthodontic treatments such as braces or clear aligners, often with a lifetime maximum benefit. This makes achieving a straight, healthy smile easier for both teens and adults.
