We accept dental insurance plans
in Virginia Beach

At this time, we are not accepting new patients with Medicaid insurance.

Many employers offer dental insurance as a benefit to their employees. They each contribute different amounts towards the coverage package of their employees, so our patients with the same insurance company, but different employers, will pay different amounts for the same service. Regardless of your coverage, you will enjoy more affordable dental care, especially preventative care, with insurance coverage. Almost all dental insurance plans cover regular exams and teeth cleanings in full as they help prevent other conditions that are more expensive to treat. It's important to remember you're responsible for your total bill if your dental insurance does not cover the amount you expected.

Where Can I Find a Dentist Near Me Who Accepts My Insurance?

If you have dental insurance coverage, you need to look for a dentist near me who accepts my insurance to use your benefits. We accept many major plans and will happily file a claim with your insurance company on your behalf. If you think or know you are going to face high out-of-pocket costs, ask us about financing options. Call us at (757) 394-8737 with any questions you may have or if you want to schedule an appointment.

You may be searching for a dentist that accepts PPO insurance or a dentist that accepts HMO insurance. If you have PPO insurance, you can see any dentist who accepts PPO dental insurance. You’ll pay higher, out-of-pocket expenses and many plans place limits on your annual coverage, but you’ll enjoy more freedom in choosing a dentist and you rarely need a referral to see a specialist. HMO plans have lists of providers that you must choose from, but you pay lower premiums for a limited choice of providers. You may need a referral to see a specialist, but HMO plans typically have fewer exclusions for pre-existing issues.

How Can I Find Out About My Dental Benefits?

If you're wondering, “how to use my dental insurance with a dentist in Virginia Beach,” you need to understand your benefits. You can read through your policy, which is usually full of dental jargon, or talk to your plan administrator at work. Most insurance companies have toll-free phone numbers to call if you have questions. Our experienced staff may also be able to help. Questions you may consider asking your provider in order to cover all your bases include:

1. Which dentist takes my insurance?
2. What are my co-pays and office visit fees? A co-pay is the amount you will pay out-of-pocket. Your co-pay is typically due at the time we render services.
3. If I visit a dentist that takes insurance, will he or she still need to get pre-authorization for some services? Without it, your claim could be denied.
4. Is there a limit to my benefits each year? Some dental insurance plans cap the dollar amount they will pay each year. Occasionally, insurance companies let you roll over any unused amount to the next year.
5. Will dental insurance pay for implants? If not, will my dental insurance plan pay for a bridge and let me pay the difference in cost myself if I would rather get an implant to replace a missing tooth?
6. Is there a lost tooth clause where they won't pay to replace a tooth I lost before getting dental coverage?
7. Will dental insurance pay for adult orthodontics? If so, will it pay for Invisalign® or do I have to get metal braces?
8. Will dental insurance pay for veneers or other cosmetic work? Is teeth whitening a cosmetic service dental insurance will pay for?
9. Will dental insurance pay for white fillings, porcelain crowns or similarly upgraded materials? If not, will they allow you to pay the difference?
10. If I find a dentist in Virginia Beach by insurance, can he or she help me estimate my out-of-pocket cost before performing the work? Our skilled and knowledgeable office staff excels at deciphering dental insurance plans and understanding the small print.
