Coverage Details
UnitedHealthcare offers a variety of dental insurance plans, and the level of coverage can depend on the specific plan you have. Here's a general overview of what you can expect from a UnitedHealthcare PPO dental plan:
- Preventive Care: Services such as routine exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants are typically covered at 100%. Regular preventive care is the cornerstone of good oral health and helps prevent more serious and costly dental issues down the road.
- Basic Care: Basic services like fillings, extractions, and scaling/root planing are usually covered at 70%-80%. These services are vital for maintaining your oral health after routine preventive care.
- Major Care: Major procedures such as crowns, dentures, bridges, and root canals are often covered at 50%. These treatments are necessary for restoring your teeth and preventing further dental problems.
- Orthodontics: UnitedHealthcare provides limited orthodontic coverage for treatments like braces or clear aligners, often with a lifetime maximum. Depending on your plan, some orthodontic treatments may be partially covered.
Important: Coverage specifics may vary based on your individual plan, so it’s essential to review your benefits or contact us for help with verifying your coverage.
