FAQ’s

What is an insurance deductible?

An insurance deductible is the amount your dental insurance requires you to pay before they begin to cover the costs of care. For instance, if you have a $500 insurance deductible you will have to pay for $500 worth of dental treatment before your insurance provider will cover treatments.

What is a yearly maximum benefit?

A yearly maximum benefit is the maximum amount of treatment costs your insurance will cover. For instance, if your yearly maximum benefit is $1,000, your insurance provider will cover up to $1,000 of treatments during a benefit period.

We recommend scheduling a dental appointment once your child’s first tooth appears (typically around six months, or at the very latest by the age of one).
