Learn More About the Benefits of Guardian
Do you have a Guardian dental insurance plan? If so, you may regularly use your policy to enjoy low-cost preventive and restorative care at your general dentist’s office. But did you know that you might also be able to use your benefits in our orthodontic practice? As an in-network Guardian orthodontist in Richardson, our team is ready and eager to help you get the most out of your insurance. Continue reading below to learn how we may be able to accomplish that.
Guardian Coverage Availability & Fees
Guardian offers a number of different dental plans, each of which comes with a unique set of details and stipulations. It is important that you familiarize yourself with your policy so you can learn how it may apply to various treatments. In the meantime, you may gain some helpful insight by reviewing this general overview of Guardian PPO policies:
- Preventive care is typically 100% covered. This usually includes cleanings, exams, and routine X-rays.
- Minor services, such as fillings and simple extractions, are often up to 80% covered.
- Major services, including crowns and dentures, are frequently around 50% covered.
- Orthodontia, including many of the services available in our practice, are up to 50% covered — but only on certain plans! For example, the Diamond and Achiever Guardian Dental Advantage PPO plans both include orthodontic coverage.
It is worth keeping in mind that your plan may have a deductible as well as a lifetime limit on how much Guardian is willing to pay for orthodontic care. Often, that limit is around $1,000. As an in-network practice, we strive to help patients get the most value out of their orthodontic maximum. You may also enjoy lower overall fees than you would at out-of-network practices.
