Clear, transparent guidance to help you understand your benefits, your options, and your investment in long-term dental health.
A Clear, Honest Approach to Dental Insurance
Dental insurance can feel confusing and many patients are surprised to learn that it works very differently from medical insurance. Unlike medical coverage, dental insurance was never designed to fully cover your care. It is better understood as a benefit or discount that helps offset a portion of treatment, rather than a comprehensive safety net. In fact, most plans have annual maximums that have barely changed in decades, despite the rising cost of care. These limitations often mean that insurance alone may not reflect what is truly best for your long-term oral health. At Drangsholt Dental, we focus on what is best for you while helping you understand and maximize the benefits available through your plan.
Delta Dental Premier Provider
We are proud to be a Delta Dental Premier Provider, which allows patients with Delta Dental to access the highest level of benefits available within that network. As a Premier Provider, we are able to offer greater flexibility in treatment options, allowing us to focus on quality, longevity, and what is truly best for your health, rather than being limited to the most restrictive fee schedules.
Our team will file your claims directly and walk you through your coverage before any treatment begins, so you always know what to expect.
Using Your Insurance Even Out of Network
While we are not in-network with most dental insurance providers, we are happy to work with patients who have PPO plans. Many patients are surprised to learn that out-of-network benefits can still cover a significant portion of their care, while allowing greater access to higher-quality materials, advanced techniques, and a more comprehensive approach to treatment.
As a courtesy, we file your claims on your behalf and help you understand your estimated benefits before your visit.
