Using Your Guardian PPO Benefits at Our Office
Most Guardian PPO plans cover preventive care at 100%, basic services around 80%, and major services around 50%, with annual maximums typically between $1,000 and $2,000. Many Guardian plans also include maximum rollover, which lets unused benefits carry into the next year — we’ll check whether yours does. Exact figures vary by plan — we verify yours before your first visit.
What Guardian Plans Typically Cover Here
Most Guardian 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 Guardian 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.
