Dr Dental on Dental Fillings and Insurance Benefits.
There many be a time when you will need to use your dental insurance plan for more then just preventive services. So when you are in the process of buying a dental insurance plan think about possible future needs and what the plan may have to offer.
If generally all you need to have is the twice a year cleanings and check ups, you may never need large dental care such as root canals and crowns. Yet even the best of us can sometimes get a small cavity.
Most insurance companies will offer resin-based composite (white) filling for your front teeth or teeth that are within sight of your smile. However, for molars (back teeth) they may only cover for amalgam (silver) fillings. It is important to know this if you are wanting only resin-based composite regardless of the tooth being filled.
