How Insurance Works At Our Practice
We make it easy for you to maximize your insurance coverage. Here’s how it works:
- Insurance verification: Give us a call to verify your coverage and ask any questions.
- Initial exam: Meet with Dr. Bowles and Dr. Karow to discuss your dental needs and goals.
- Treatment plan: After your exam, we’ll provide a treatment plan outlining costs and estimated insurance coverage.
- Claim submission and processing: Our team submits all claims and required documentation. Once your insurance processes the claim, we’ll let you know if there’s any remaining balance.
Common Treatments Covered By Insurance
While every insurance plan is different, most offer partial or full coverage for the following treatments.
Dental Exam
During a routine exam, your dentist will assess your oral health and look for any problem areas. Contact us today to schedule an appointment!
Dental Cleaning
A professional cleaning removes plaque, tartar, and surface stains to help keep your smile healthy and bright.
Digital X-Rays
Dental X-rays help us see issues that aren’t visible during a standard exam. This allows us to detect abnormalities early and develop a more accurate treatment plan.
Crowns & Bridges
Crowns are recommended when a tooth is badly damaged or has decay that can’t be repaired with a filling. A crown covers and protects the tooth, helping restore its function, strength, and appearance.
Composite Filling
If a tooth has decay or minor damage, a filling can restore its shape and function. In most cases, we remove the damaged area, clean the tooth, and place the filling in a single visit.
Sealants
Sealants help prevent cavities on the chewing surfaces of back teeth. They’re often placed on permanent molars as they come in and can last for years with proper care.
Extractions
A tooth extraction is recommended when a tooth needs to be removed due to decay, impaction, or other concerns. We use local anesthetic to keep you comfortable, and for more complex cases, additional sedation options may be available.
Endodontic Therapy (Root Canals)
A root canal is needed when decay or trauma reaches the inner portion of a tooth and causes infection. Routine dental visits help prevent this, but if the nerve becomes infected, treatment is needed to relieve pain and protect the tooth.
