MetLife Coverage Availability & Fees
If you’re unsure what kind of coverage comes with your MetLife plan, here is a brief breakdown of what you might expect:
- 100% coverage for preventive services, including general exams and teeth cleanings
- 80% coverage for basic restorative services, including tooth-colored fillings
- 50% coverage for major restorative services, including dental crowns, dentures, and dental bridges
- Cosmetic dentistry is unlikely to be included, as veneers, teeth whitening, dental bonding, and other similar services are often deemed “nonessential”
As long as you continue to pay your monthly premium, you will remain eligible to use your dental benefits. Once you meet your annual deductible, your insurance will start paying its share of the bill, significantly reducing your out-of-pocket amount.
The Benefits of Seeing an In-Network Dentist
Paying less for preventive and restorative treatments is just one of the benefits of seeing an in-network dentist. Contracted with your insurance company, they set established fees for specific services, which means you pay less each time you visit. Other benefits you can expect include predictable estimates to help you budget for remaining expenses, streamlined billing that allows your dental team to handle paperwork and claim filing, and the highest standards of care and service.
You should never feel as if you have to see an in-network dentist, but you will likely pay more for treatment in the long run.
