Frequently asked questions
FAQ
How much do most dental plans cover?
Plans vary in terms of what they cover, so if you’re searching for the best dental plan for your family, be sure to check all of the coverage details and limits. For example, you might find family dental insurance that covers 100% of the cost of preventive care, 80% of basic services, and 50% of major services. Some plans cover even more, such as orthodontics and implants.
Is dental insurance tax deductible?
You might be able to deduct the cost of dental insurance if it’s for medical rather than cosmetic purposes. Work with a tax expert to determine if you can indeed deduct your dental insurance and dental care expenses.
How do I choose a family dentist?
There are a lot of things to consider when searching for the right dentist. It’s wise to see a professional who has a positive reputation, years of experience, and the ability to provide top-quality care with the latest tools and technology. Also keep in mind that some dentists work with both children and adults, while pediatric dentists focus on kids. You can look through your insurance provider’s network to find a dentist that will help you save.
Can I have two dental insurance plans?
Dual coverage, which involves having two dental plans, may be possible if you’d like to take that route. However, you can’t buy two separate Spirit Dental plans. Also, we don’t coordinate benefits and don’t check if another insurance provider has covered a portion of a procedure. Instead, we determine coverage based off the entire procedure.
What is the cheapest dental insurance for family?
With a wide variety of policies to choose from, you can turn to Spirit Dental when you want a family plan that will be affordable and give you the right amount of coverage. Contact us if you need help selecting the plan that’s ideal for you and your budget.
