Coverage Details
UFCW dental insurance provides a comprehensive range of benefits to help you maintain excellent oral health while keeping your out-of-pocket expenses manageable. Here’s an overview of what your plan may include:
- Preventive Care: Most UFCW dental plans fully cover preventive services such as exams, cleanings, X-rays, and fluoride treatments. Regular preventive care is essential to avoid costly treatments down the line and keep your smile healthy.
- Basic Care: UFCW plans typically cover basic services like fillings, extractions, and minor periodontal treatments, often with a low co-payment or coinsurance. Our team will assist you in understanding your benefits and help you navigate your coverage options.
- Major Care: For more complex procedures such as crowns, bridges, dentures, and root canals, UFCW offers coverage to lower your out-of-pocket expenses. We provide pre-treatment estimates so you can plan ahead for any major procedures.
- Orthodontics: Some UFCW dental plans include orthodontic coverage for both braces and clear aligners, helping make orthodontic care more affordable for both adults and children.

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.
