Private plans
Your dental benefits, handled for you.
We accept most private dental insurance plans, including coverage through work or a family member’s plan, and we bill your insurer directly.
Plans we accept
If you have dental benefits through any of these, we can usually bill your plan for you:
- Your employer’s group benefits plan
- A spouse’s or parent’s plan
- A pension or retiree plan
- An individual plan you bought yourself
