Are preventive services, like dental sealants, covered by insurance?

Yes, dental sealants and fluoride treatments are almost always covered by most dental insurance plans at a high percentage, often 100%. Insurance companies recognize the huge long term benefits of preventive care because it avoids the need to pay for expensive dental treatment for cavities in the future. We recommend these procedures for nearly every child's teeth. Are preventive services, like dental sealants, covered by insurance?

What if my child needs complex procedures like a crown?

For more complex procedures, your dental insurance will apply its standard coverage for major dental work. Our dental office provides a detailed breakdown of the treatment plan and expected cost upfront. We also accept various payment plans and financing options to help you manage the balance, ensuring your child's oral health is restored immediately.

How does Noleen Dental make care affordable for new patients without insurance?

We are committed to affordable care. For new patients without insurance, we often have a special introductory package (new patient special) which significantly reduces the cost of the initial visit and necessary x-rays. Furthermore, unlike some practices, we do not require the balance to be paid upfront and can arrange flexible payment options directly through our office.

Factors Influencing the Pediatric Dental Cost

The cost of pediatric dentistry is not fixed; it can vary depending on several factors related to the child’s dental health, the location, and the type of dental procedure required. Understanding these factors helps parents budget for their child’s dental treatment.

Key variables that determine the cost:

Type of Treatment: Routine preventive care like fluoride treatments and dental sealants are significantly lower costs than more complex procedures such as root canals on baby teeth or fillings for severe tooth decay.
Insurance Coverage: Your dental insurance plans and the level of coverage offered by your insurance provider are the biggest factors. Most dental insurance plans cover preventive visits at 100%, drastically reducing your out of pocket expenses.
Complexity of the Case: A child requiring orthodontic treatment (like braces) or specialized care for extensive decay or gum disease will naturally incur higher costs than a child needing only routine checkups.

While the average cost can vary depending on these factors, our practice strives to provide excellent value for the treatment and services we provide.

Maximizing Dental Insurance and Lowering Out-of-Pocket Costs

Utilizing your dental insurance is the best way to manage the cost of pediatric dentistry. Our office works with many dental insurance plans and health insurance to maximize your benefits and minimize what you pay out-of-pocket.

We help parents navigate their insurance coverage:

Preventive Care: Dental sealants, fluoride treatments, and x rays performed during regular checkups are heavily covered by most dental insurance plans because they prevent the need for expensive restorative dental work down the forward path. We recommend these visits every six months.
Major Services: For more complex procedures like crowns or extractions, your dental insurance will apply a percentage of coverage. We will provide a detailed treatment plan and cost estimate before beginning any major dental treatment.
New Patient Special: We frequently offer free or reduced-cost new patient special packages that often include a full exam and x-rays for those joining our practice. This is a great way for new patients to begin care affordably.

Our team is dedicated to ensuring you fully utilize your available insurance.

Financing Options for Affordable Dental Care

For parents who are without insurance or whose insurance has reached its coverage limits, Noleen Dental offers various payment options to ensure their child’s dental health is never compromised. We believe that every child deserves a beautiful smile and access to affordable care.

We offer flexible financing options including:

Payment Plans: We offer flexible, in-house payment plans that allow parents to spread the cost of major pediatric dental treatments over a manageable period.
Dental Credit Cards: Specialized dental credit cards are accepted, offering deferred interest or low interest rates for immediate access to necessary treatment.
Dental Discount Plans: These are excellent affordable alternatives to dental insurance plans that provide a fixed discount on all dental services provided by our provider.

We also encourage parents to ask about any current patient special offers that may further reduce the cost of your child’s dental needs.
