LINCOLN METLIFE DENTAL INSURANCE
Part of providing exceptional dental care necessitates working with patients to help them afford treatment. Because the dentists and their team at Williamsburg Dental are fully dedicated to making sure you and your family have healthy and beautiful smiles, we are an in-network provider with many insurance carriers including MetLife. As your MetLife dentist, we are pleased to offer a number of covered dental procedures to help ensure your oral, dental and overall good health.
In-Network MetLife Dentist
What does it mean that Williamsburg Dental is “in-network” with MetLife Dental Insurance? Simply put, we have negotiated a pre-set fee as payment in full for covered dental services. The average cost for comparable services at other dentists in our area may cost anywhere from 15 percent to 45 percent more. Once you have satisfied your deductible, you are only responsible for paying the coinsurance charge.
MetLife Dental Insurance Details
With MetLife, you can choose between group dental insurance including dental PPO programs, MetLife PDP and PDP Plus, or MetLife Take Along Dental, which is dental insurance that is available through your employer or on your own so you can maintain coverage for yourself and your family if you change jobs.
No matter which MetLife plan you choose, you can always depend on our staff to file your dental insurance claims for you. We can also help explain the details of your coverage. In addition, if you’d like to know your portion for a particular procedure, we’ll be glad to inform you before your scheduled appointment. The majority of MetLife dental insurance plans cover the following:
- Dental cleanings and exams
- Annual x-rays
- Fillings
- Dentures
- Dental sealants
- Orthodontics
- Dental crowns
- Tooth extractions
- Root canal therapy
Like the majority of dental insurance, MetLife’s plans do not cover cosmetic dentistry.
Understanding Dental Insurance
Dental insurance and medical insurance are fundamentally different because of the way each is practiced. For the most part, medicine is reactionary—responding to illness or disease once developed. Dentistry, on the other hand, seeks to prevent oral and dental disease such as tooth decay, gum disease, infection and even oral cancer. With MetLife Dental Insurance, you and your Williamsburg Dental can work to avoid dental problems before they require extensive and expensive treatment.
To encourage subscribers to see the dentist regularly, you dental insurance has benefit maximums that expire at the end of a calendar year. At your six-month checkups, we’ll clean your teeth and examine your entire oral cavity in order to recommend needed treatments that will help you have healthy teeth and gums for life.
