No Medicare plans accepted.
At Dental Excellence: Dr. Brett Noorda, we accept every PPO that allows you to choose your dentist. We are contracted with insurance companies that we believe treat their customers fairly by allowing us to provide the best, quality care in town. A good thing to know is there is often no difference in cost for in-network and out-of-network dentists and HMO plans are excluded.
Understanding How Dental Insurance Works
Dental insurance works by making preventive care more affordable to help you avoid the need for more costly, complex treatments later on. You pay a premium each month or year in exchange for your benefits. Typically, a higher premium is associated with a better plan. Most dental insurance plans work on a calendar year, meaning any benefits that you have not used up by the end of December expire and you begin again on January 1st. You may also have a deductible associated with your dental insurance plan, which is the amount of money you have to pay out-of-pocket before your benefits will kick in. Preventive care is usually completely covered and thus falls outside of the deductible.
Please feel free to get in touch with the team at Dental Excellence: Dr. Brett Noorda if you have any doubts about how dental insurance works. Our team of experts will work to help you understand precisely what you are eligible for under your plan.
What Your Dental Insurance Plan Covers
Because routine preventive care is crucial for continued oral health and wellbeing, most dental insurance plans completely cover two checkups and cleanings annually, usually with a set of X-rays per year. Additional preventive treatments, like a topical fluoride treatment, are typically covered. For other treatments, like cavity fillings, root canal therapy, tooth extractions, and restorations, dental insurance coverage varies, but typically remains around 80 or 50 percent.
Orthodontic treatment may be partially covered, too. Cosmetic treatments are rarely covered by dental insurance.

Please be aware that there may be some rare individual plans through these providers that we are not in-network for.

That way, there won't be any surprises!
