Coverage Details
United Medical Resources (UMR) offers a range of dental insurance options designed to help you keep your oral health in check without breaking the bank. Here's an overview of what your UMR dental plan may include:
- Preventive Care: Most UMR dental plans fully cover preventive services such as exams, cleanings, X-rays, and fluoride treatments. These services help you maintain your smile and prevent more serious dental issues from arising, keeping your oral care affordable.
- Basic Care: UMR dental plans often cover basic services like fillings, simple extractions, and periodontal treatments. These services usually require a co-payment or coinsurance, which will vary based on your plan. Our team will assist you in understanding your benefits and ensure you’re fully informed about your options.
- Major Care: For more extensive treatments such as crowns, bridges, dentures, and root canals, UMR offers coverage to help lower your out-of-pocket costs. We provide pre-treatment estimates to help you understand the financial aspects of your treatment before proceeding.
- Orthodontics: Depending on your plan, UMR offers coverage for orthodontic treatments, including braces and clear aligners. This makes orthodontic care more accessible for both children and adults, ensuring that you can achieve a healthier smile.

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.
