Minor Restorative Services: Fixing Small Issues Early
Q: What minor restorative services are covered if someone needs fillings or crowns?
A: The plan covers fillings, crowns, and other minor repairs to restore damaged teeth.
One evening, Sarah notices a dull ache in her molar. The pain intensifies, and Tom encourages her to visit their dentist. The exam reveals a cavity that needs a tooth-colored filling, fully covered by their plan. The insurance even allows replacement fillings after two years, ensuring that future repairs will be covered if needed.
A couple of years later, Sarah’s filling cracks. This time, the dentist recommends a prefabricated crown, and the plan provides coverage for one crown per tooth every two years. With these restorative services in place, Sarah knows she can address dental problems promptly, without worrying about the cost.
