United Healthcare Coverage Availability & Fees
United Healthcare offers a variety of dental plans. Your coverage level will depend on the specific details of your individual policy. You can refer to your plan brochure or your online patient portal for more information or speak to our friendly team for assistance.
Below, please find some general information about how United Healthcare dental insurance typically works:
- Preventive care such as cleanings, exams, and routine X-rays are typically covered at 100% beginning on the day you purchase your policy.
- Basic services, including simple extractions and small fillings, may be covered anywhere between 35% to 80%, depending on your plan and how long you have been covered.
- Major services such as crowns, root canals, and oral surgery may or may not be covered. If your policy doesn’t cover them, your plan could pay anywhere from 15% to 60% of the cost of care; however, this will depend on how long you’ve had your United Healthcare insurance.
Please also note that your insurance may come with a deductible and/or annual maximum. A deductible is the amount you must pay before your insurance coverage kicks in. Often, this number is around $50. The annual maximum is the yearly spending limit on your policy and is typically around $1000.
