Using Your UnitedHealthcare Benefits at Our Office
Most UnitedHealthcare dental PPO plans cover preventive care at 100%, basic services around 80%, and major services around 50% after a small deductible, with annual maximums typically from $1,000 to $2,000. In-network, your share is calculated on UHC’s negotiated fees rather than full retail fees. Exact figures vary by plan — we verify yours before your first visit.
What UnitedHealthcare Plans Typically Cover Here
Most UnitedHealthcare dental PPO plans follow a 100-80-50 structure. Here’s how that maps to our services:
- Covered at or near 100%: dental check-ups, cleanings, exams, and X-rays — usually twice per year with no deductible.
- Covered around 80% (basic): fillings, simple extractions, and many periodontal treatments.
- Covered around 50% (major): crowns, root canal treatment, wisdom teeth removal, and oral surgery.
- Orthodontics: some UnitedHealthcare plans include an orthodontic benefit that can apply to clear aligner treatment — we’ll check yours.
- Cosmetic treatments: veneers and teeth whitening are typically not covered by insurance, but our In-House Membership Plan members receive discounts on cosmetic procedures.
