What exactly is dental insurance?
Dental insurance is a contract between your employer and an insurance company. The benefits you receive from your policy are based on the terms of the contract negotiated between your employer and the insurance company. In all instances, dental insurance provides only a partial allowance.
Is a dental insurance policy similar to a general health insurance policy?
Actually there are major differences between the two. One of the most significant differences lies in the amount of coverage you can count on. In the case of dental insurance, even the most comprehensive policy will never pay for all of the dental service you receive. Dental insurance is an allowance rather than a pay-all proposition.
Why doesn’t my dental insurance cover all of my dental needs?
Your benefits are the result of the negotiated relationship between your employer and the insurance company. The amount your plan pays is determined by the agreement negotiated by your employer with the insurer, and, of course, the negotiating parties have no knowledge of your dental needs. In most cases, the dental benefits you receive are mediated by your company’s human resources representative and the dental insurance agent. Cost, not dental care, is always the prime consideration. ADA recommendations for basic care are not a significant factor in these bargaining sessions. Your dental coverage is determined not by your dental needs—but by how much your employer contributes to the plan. And like automobile insurance, there is always a deductible negotiated up front. No insurance company pays the whole cost.
Who decides how much will be paid when insurance is involved?
The insurance company does. Typically, the insurance company will survey a geographical area and calculate an “average fee” for dental services within that area. Then, the company will take 50-80 percent of that fee amount and declare it “usual and customary.” Anything above that “usual and customary” figure is not paid. Insurance companies consider this to be the patient’s co-payment. They also will reduce the patient’s benefit by an annual deductible.
Does this mean that typical fees for dentistry services will not be covered by dental insurance plans?
Unfortunately, when insurance companies calculate the average fee for a geographical area, their calculations are based on the lowest common denominator for dental services. For instance, they include the lowest cost, lowest quality dental materials, and of course, they include the services provided by discount dental clinics and managed care facilities. Therefore, as you would expect, a high quality dental practice normally will exceed the “usual and customary” fees established by dental insurance companies. This office monitors CDA published treatment fees. Our fees are average.
Do these restrictions also apply to Laser Gum Treatment procedures?
In the case of Laser Gum Treatment, a focus of my practice, many insurance plans impose a waiting period for treatment. At the end of the waiting period, coverage may be only 50 percent of the cost of treatment up to the patient’s annual benefit, less the deductible.

“My front teeth were in bad shape, and Dr. Whatcott gave me a smile I never thought I could have again. It wasn’t just about looks — my teeth feel better and stronger too.”

“They restored my gums with pinhole surgery with excellent results, and I was impressed enough that I came back to do LANAP laser gum surgery on the rest. I’d recommend them to anyone. They use many wonderful new technologies and their service is excellent.”
