There is no denying that good at-home oral hygiene is important. Everyone should be brushing, flossing, and rinsing their teeth and gums daily; however, it’s unlikely these habits are the only thing that will prevent cavities, gum disease, and other critical oral health problems. Preventive care from a trusted professional is essential, and dental insurance companies know that. As an Aetna dentist in Sunnyvale, Dr. Philip recognizes the attention insurers give to dental checkups and cleanings, fluoride treatment, and other similar preventive services. As an advocate for these forms of treatment, he can help you take better care of your smile while also helping to save you money. Call us today to learn how you can get the most out of your Aetna plan.

Aetna Coverage Availability & Fees

When it comes to using your Aetna dental insurance plan at our office, there are a few important things you’ll want to remember if you intend to save on your next visit:

  • For every $1 you spend on preventive care, you can expect to save $50 or more on restorative and emergency treatment.
  • To save using your dental insurance plan, you must make your monthly premium payments and meet your annual deductible before your insurance company will agree to pay their share of the bill.
  • Most plans have a 100-80-50 model, which includes:
    • 100% preventive services covered
    • 80% minor restorative services covered
    • 50% major restorative services covered
  • Your benefits are typically only good for a single calendar year and do not roll over from year to year, so you’ll need to use all available funds to avoid losing money.

Our team will always check how much of your annual maximum remains when recommending a more complex method of treatment. If necessary, we may try to spread out your appointments so that you pay less out of pocket and take advantage of the maximum amount of savings over time.

This is one of the many benefits of seeing an in-network dentist. Our partnership and agreement with Aetna ensure that the fees you are required to pay remain low.
