Sun Life Insurance
At Clove DDS, we understand that managing your dental insurance can be complex. That’s why we’ve partnered with Sun Life to provide clear and accessible dental care to our patients. Whether you're coming in for a routine cleaning or a more complex treatment, this page will walk you through the details of your Sun Life benefits, how to verify your coverage, and answer some of the most frequently asked questions.
Coverage Details
Sun Life provides a variety of dental plans that typically cover different types of dental services. Here’s a general guide to what you can expect from Sun Life coverage:
- Preventive Care: Routine preventive care, such as cleanings, exams, fluoride treatments, and sealants, is often fully covered (usually 100%). Regular preventive visits are vital for maintaining oral health and preventing future problems.
- Basic Care: Common dental services such as fillings, extractions, and scaling/root planing are generally covered at 70%-80%. These services help address everyday dental issues and prevent them from becoming more serious.
- Major Care: For major dental procedures, such as crowns, dentures, bridges, and root canals, coverage is typically around 50%. These treatments address more severe dental conditions and are often necessary for restoring a damaged tooth.
- Orthodontics: Depending on your plan, Sun Life may offer partial coverage for orthodontic treatments, such as braces or clear aligners. Orthodontic coverage typically comes with a lifetime maximum, so it’s important to check your specific plan for the details.
Please note that coverage levels can vary based on your specific plan. We encourage you to review your policy for more accurate details and contact us for assistance in verifying your benefits.
How to Verify Your Benefits
Verifying your Sun Life benefits is an essential step before receiving treatment. Here's how we can help you verify your coverage:
- Contact Clove DDS: Give us a call to let us know you have Sun Life insurance. We’ll take care of contacting Sun Life for you to verify your coverage and help you understand what’s covered under your plan.
- Provide Your Insurance Information: When you call, please provide your Sun Life insurance card or the relevant policy number. You can share this information by phone, email, or in person.
- Get a Breakdown of Your Benefits: Once we’ve verified your coverage, we’ll provide you with a detailed breakdown of your benefits, including the percentage covered and any out-of-pocket costs you might incur.
- Treatment Estimates: After verifying your benefits, we will give you a cost estimate for the services you need, so you have a clear understanding of your financial responsibility upfront.
PPO Insurance and Your Options
As a PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) insurance provider, Sun Life offers you the flexibility to visit any dentist. However, for the most cost-effective options, staying within your plan’s network is highly recommended.
At Clove DDS, we are proud to be a participating provider in Sun Life’s PPO network. This means that if you visit our office, you’ll maximize your coverage and minimize out-of-pocket expenses.
Choosing an in-network provider like Clove DDS ensures that you get the most benefit from your plan. We’re transparent about our pricing and work directly with Sun Life to ensure that your treatment costs are as low as possible.
