Closeup of a beautiful smile during dental examWe know dental insurance is an important consideration for many of our patients, and that is why we are pleased to be in-network with a number of providers, including Aetna dental insurance. Visiting a dentist who is in-network with your plan is the best way to make sure you get the most out of your investment right off the bat, without having to pay out of pocket and then wait around for a reimbursement to come weeks or months later. Blue Coast Dental Group is your Aetna dentist in Torrance -- keep reading to find out how we make dental insurance easy!

Aetna Dental Insurance: The Basics

Family of four sharing healthy smilesThe way that PPO dental insurance plans work is that there is a monthly payment payable to the insurance carrier, by you or your employer, for the cost of maintaining the policy (called the premium).  These policies allow you to see any dentist of your choice, however the advantage of seeing an “In-Network” or “Preferred Provider” is often a significant savings in the cost of treatment due to contracted fee schedules assigned to most dental services provided to you by your contracted dentist.

  • Preventive care. This includes two checkups and cleanings per year along with X-rays, fluoride treatments, and possibly dental sealants.
  • Basic restorative care. This covers tooth-colored fillings, gum disease treatment, and simple extractions.
  • More complex restorative care, including dental crowns, dentures, root canals, and others.
  • Elective dental procedures, like cosmetic treatments, are usually not covered by dental insurance.

Your Aetna dentist in Torrance will find out exactly what your dental insurance covers by performing a verification of benefits.

Maximizing Your Aetna dEntal Insurance

Woman at the dentistThe best way to make the most out of your insurance is to take advantage of your free checkups and cleanings every six months. When you attend these appointments, we can remove plaque and tartar from your teeth and catch potential problems almost as soon as they develop. When you undergo routine preventive attention, the chances that you will require significant restorative care from your dentist are greatly reduced.

We can help you make strategic choices when it comes to using your dental insurance. For example, you will want to make sure that you get as close to the annual maximum (the highest amount your insurance will pay for care) during the years that you have met your deductible. After you meet your deductible, it’s a great time to take care of any unfinished dental work and save.
