Aetna Dentist – Worcester, MA
How to Maximize Your Aetna Dental Benefits
At Kids’ Smiles on Lincoln, we care about building lasting relationships and preventing cavities and other oral health problems from the start. This is why we encourage parents to use their preventive coverage to avoid paying out of pocket for regular dental checkups and cleanings for their child. With Aetna dentists in Worcester on staff, we make it easy to save each time you bring your little one in for a visit, so call us if you have any questions about your plan when making an appointment.
Aetna Coverage Availability & Fees
When using your Aetna dental insurance plan to pay for your child’s pediatric services, you can expect to save any time they require preventive or restorative treatment. For example, a standard benefits breakdown might include:
- Preventive dental services are covered at 100%
- Minor restorative dental services are covered at 80%
- Major restorative dental services are covered at 50%
Based on your child’s dental needs, our team will provide an estimate for you to review, complete with how much your dental insurance will pay and any out-of-pocket costs you incur. Generally, dental checkups and cleanings will be covered in full; however, dental fillings, dental crowns, simple tooth extractions and other similar services will only receive partial coverage.
This means you must pay the remaining balance out of pocket. The portion Aetna pays is based on whether you’ve met your deductible and if you have existing funds available as part of your annual maximum.
As an in-network dentist with Aetna, we will ensure you pay the lowest possible price, no matter how much your dental insurance agrees to pay. This is one of the added benefits of having your child see a pediatric dentist who is in partnership with various dental insurance companies.
