Yes, most dental insurance plans will cover two preventive care visits at 80% to 100%, depending on your coverage. Preventive care includes services such as teeth cleanings, dental X-rays, dental exams, and dental sealants.

The American Dental Association recommends twice-yearly preventive dental visits. This gives your dentist the chance to monitor changes in your oral health, provide timely treatment recommendations, and overall work to prevent concerns before they arise. If you need further visits to begin or complete treatment, we will help you schedule your subsequent appointments at your earliest convenience so you can get that taken care of as soon as possible.
