Many patients wonder about insurance coverage for smile improvements when visiting our cosmetic dentist. The answer largely depends on the procedure and your specific plan.
Dental insurance typically covers procedures that address function and health, but rarely covers purely cosmetic treatments. However, some procedures fall in a middle ground:
Partially Covered Cosmetic Procedures
- Dental crowns (when medically necessary)
- Tooth-colored fillings (coverage varies by plan and tooth location)
Procedures Not Typically Covered
- Porcelain veneers
- Professional teeth whitening
- Cosmetic bonding
Making Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
At Whitehouse Family Dental, we offer several options to help make your dream smile more accessible:
- Flexible Financing — We accept CareCredit and Cherry financing, which allows you to break treatment costs into manageable monthly payments, often with interest-free periods for qualifying procedures.
- Membership Plan Savings — Our in-house dental membership plan provides discounts on most cosmetic procedures while including your preventive care. There are no waiting periods, annual maximums, or complicated claim forms.
- Phased Treatment Approach — For comprehensive smile makeovers, we can develop a phased approach that spreads procedures over time to accommodate your budget.
Our team will work with you to maximize available insurance benefits and find the most cost-effective path to your smile goals. Call Whitehouse Family Dental at (419) 877-5404 to schedule your consultation and discuss personalized treatment and payment options.
