We’re Dental Insurance friendly at Ten Mile Dental

Insurance and Billing Made Easy

At Ten Mile Dental, we believe that navigating dental insurance shouldn't be stressful. That’s why we work with most major insurance providers and handle all claims and billing on your behalf.

Our friendly, knowledgeable team is here to make the process as smooth as possible - so you can focus on your oral health, not paperwork.

If you have questions about your coverage, we’re happy to help clarify your benefits and ensure you get the most from your plan.

Understand your bill

Understanding your dental bill can sometimes be confusing, and we want to make it as clear as possible. While we strive to provide accurate estimates based on the information available at the time of your visit, your final bill may differ due to factors outside our control - such as changes in your insurance coverage, unmet deductibles, co-pays, or services not fully covered by your plan.

Insurance companies occasionally update their policies or benefits without prior notice, which can also affect your out-of-pocket costs. At Ten Mile Dental, we believe in transparency and are committed to helping you understand your bill.

If you ever have questions or concerns about a charge or balance, our knowledgeable team is always here to help.

 Insurance FAQs

  • You can always check with your insurance company to find out what they are and how much they cover. However, the Ten Mile Dental insurance team can check for you and give you an exact break down.

  • In many instances, out of network benefits cover preventative services at 100%. Your exams and cleanings are considered preventive by Ten Mile Dental and your insurance! Give us your info and we’ll tell you exactly what is covered and how much you’ll owe.

  • Being out of network simply means Ten Mile Dental does not have a direct contract with your insurance provider. It does not mean we don’t take your insurance. For those carriers that we do have a direct contract with, they have negotiated prices. When out of network we use the base price for the service and apply the coverage percentages that correspond to your out-of-network benefits to calculate what you’ll owe.

  • Typically, dental insurance covers all types of dental care ranging from exams and cleanings (typically 2x / year), basic dental care (fillings, crowns, etc.) to oral surgery and orthodontics. Insurances categorize each type of care into Preventive, Basic, and Major services and each is covered at a determined percentage, leaving the remaining balance to the patient (typical breakouts are 100% / 80% / 50% for the coverage). Orthodontics are unique and typically have rules around age, who on your plan is allowed to use, and how much is offered (i.e. there is a lifetime max versus and annual amount).

  • The basic premise of dental insurance is the same as other types of employer-provided insurances such as Medical and Vision. Most dental insurance is provided by your employer, has monthly premiums associated with that coverage, has guidelines on who you can see, and differences in benefits provided. The major difference with dental insurance is that the insurance provider has a yearly maximum they will reimburse, whereas a medical insurance provider covers reimbursement after the individual reaches their own out of pocket maximum.

  • In most cases, two exams and cleanings in a calendar year.
