Navigating dental insurance can sometimes feel like trying to read a foreign language. It can be overwhelming, especially with all the information about deductibles, copays, and annual maximums. At Dental Care of Corona, we believe understanding your insurance should be simple and stress-free. After all, your dental health is worth celebrating! Here’s what you need to know. 

The Basics: What Dental Insurance Usually Covers

Most dental insurance plans follow the 100/80/50 rule:

  • 100% coverage for preventative care like cleanings, exams, and x-rays
  • 80% coverage for basic procedures such as fillings or simple extractions
  • 50% coverage for major services like crowns, bridges, or dentures

This means your routine visits are often fully covered, making prevention the smartest and cheapest step you can take for your smile.

What Patients in Corona Can Expect

At our dentist office in Corona, CA, we work with a wide variety of insurance providers. Our team helps you understand your benefits before you even sit in the chair. That way, there are no surprises when it comes to cost. We’ll also explain whether your treatment falls into preventative, basic, or major categories so you know exactly what portion your insurance will take care of. We also offer in-house financing and third-party financing for your convenience.

Maximize Your Benefits, Minimize Stress

Dental insurance usually has an annual maximum, which is a set dollar amount the plan will cover each year. Once you hit that limit, additional costs are out-of-pocket. That’s why we encourage patients to plan ahead, especially if they need major work. Our friendly front desk team loves helping patients schedule treatment in a way that makes the most of their benefits.
