Dental Insurance, Payments & Affordability
at Trident in Sunnyvale, CA

Dental insurance plans help you, as a patient, cover the cost of your dental services. Insurance plans might be confusing, that’s why our friendly staff will help you better understand the complexity of it from day 1, so you don’t have to worry about any unexpected bills.

A dental insurance annual maximum is the total amount of money your insurance will pay within a period of 12 months. In other words, when you need to undergo a dental procedure, your insurance will usually pay a maximum amount of the cost of your dental services and/or treatment in a year of benefit plan. This is called dental insurance annual maximum. Your dental insurance provider will reduce the costs they have paid for the service or treatment from your annual maximum every time you submit a dental claim. Once you reach your dental insurance annual maximum, you will have to personally pay for any further dental treatment or procedure you undergo. That is until the next plan year.

Depending on your dental plan, your dental insurance annual maximum only applies to the portion your insurance plan pays on your behalf. Most of the time, basic dental services (i.e. diagnostic and preventive procedures) do not count in your annual maximum.

Also depending on your insurance plan, your annual maximum includes a certain amount that resets at the end of each benefit period, which is usually a year.

Unlike the dental insurance annual maximum, the ortho benefit maximum does not renew. Orthodontic benefits usually have a lifetime maximum. Once the benefits are fully used or reach their maximum, it will not renew and it cannot be used anymore. Ortho benefit maximum is a limit on covered dental services (i.e. number of visits to the orthodontist) or procedures.

Before your insurance pays its share, you will be charged “insurance deductibles”, which is mainly an amount you are responsible for paying when it comes to an insured sum of money. Depending on your insurance plan, the deductible amount varies.

During your first visit, a Sunnyvale dentist will run a dental examination to assess your oral health and tailor adequate dental procedures.

Right after that, our team of experts will walk you through our dental coverage plans, and discuss your current insurance benefits to customize your dental insurance plans and advise on the best financial options available.
