When you find out that you are suffering from gum disease or even gingivitis, you will need immediate treatment. Since the particular level of periodontal treatment you require may vary (and since different patients have different insurance plans), it isn’t possible for us to lay out universal costs and coverage details that apply to everyone. However, we can certainly help you by answering common questions about gum treatment and insurance coverage, which will ultimately guide you toward the information you need.
Q&A: Periodontal Care
Question: Can I assume that my dental insurance is going to cover my periodontal treatment if I end up with gingivitis or gum disease?
Answer: It’s safe to think that your plan will offer at least partial coverage. However, every plan is different.
Question: If there is no guarantee that my plan is going to offer full or partial coverage for periodontal treatment, what do you suggest I do, so I can plan to care for my smile and address my gum problem?
Answer: The best course of action is to call your dental insurance plan’s customer service line. There will be a customer service representative available to take your call, so you may ask questions that are specific to your plan. You can then consider your unique coverage options and make plans based on the details.
Question: What if my insurance doesn’t offer the coverage I need? What if I don’t have dental insurance but I need periodontal treatment?
Answer: We encourage you to schedule care instead of avoiding it because it is essential for protecting your oral health. Fortunately, we offer a variety of financing options to ensure you can afford the care you need. Contact us, so we may help set up a plan that will work for you!
