Dental insurance is like a safety net for your smile — there to help keep your teeth healthy and your wallet happy. It typically covers a range of services designed to maintain and restore your oral health.

It’s especially generous when it comes to preventive care, often covering routine checkups, cleanings, and X-rays to help you stay ahead of potential problems. For basic treatments like fillings or root canals, your plan usually helps with a significant portion of the cost. Even for major procedures such as crowns, bridges, or orthodontic care, your insurance still lends support — though your share of the cost may be higher.

Most dental plans also include a yearly maximum, which sets a limit on what your insurance will contribute each year.

At Twin City Smiles, we’ll help you understand your benefits and make the most of your coverage — so you can focus on what matters most: keeping your smile bright and healthy.

Not sure what your plan covers? You can always check with your insurance company to learn more about your out-of-network benefits and coverage details — or let us handle it for you! Simply provide your carrier name and subscriber ID, and our team will gladly verify your benefits and give you a clear breakdown of what’s covered before your visit.

PPO stands for Preferred Provider Organization. With a PPO plan, you have the flexibility to visit any dentist you like — no referrals needed. You’ll typically save more when you choose a provider within your plan’s network, but you’re still free to see an out-of-network dentist if you prefer.

At Twin City Smiles, we accept most PPO insurance plans and are happy to help you understand how your benefits apply at our office.
