Does my dental insurance cover emergency dental care?

Does my dental insurance cover emergency dental care?

While every dental insurance plan differs, most will cover a portion of the out-of-pocket expense for an emergency dental exam. However, your out-of-pocket costs and insurance coverage may vary depending on the dental treatment you need. 

For example, insurance coverage and out-of-pocket expenses for a patient who needs a simple dental filling will be less than for someone who needs root canal treatment to eliminate a tooth infection and a crown to rebuild their tooth. 

When you contact our dental clinic in Mount Waverley, you can be confident that our friendly and knowledgeable team is here to help. We can assist you in determining your insurance coverage and out-of-pocket expenses for a tooth emergency.
