We accept most dental insurance plans in Central Arkansas.

The big upside to dental insurance is that it CAN cover orthodontic treatment, and it is a separate benefit from your other dental benefits. That's important if you're ready to be proactive about taking charge of your oral health. However, exactly what's covered varies greatly by plan. Even two people with the same insurance provider can have dramatically different coverage depending on how their plans were negotiated by their employers. In most cases with insurance coverage, patients are responsible for at least a portion of a treatment. These are exactly the types of conversations that our dental team has with our patients on a daily basis. There's even a good chance that we accept your insurance!

How do I locate an orthodontist near me who accepts my insurance? If you're looking to find an orthodontist in Central Arkansas that works with your insurance, there are several ways to find out. One is check directly with your insurance plan to see if there is a list of providers that are “In-Network” with your plan. You can check our website to see if your plan is one we have listed that we already work with. Finally, you can check with our office directly if you have any other questions.

Understanding Your Benefits

Is there an orthodontist near me who accepts my insurance? Should I be looking for a local provider that accepts PPO insurance? How do I find a local provider that accepts HMO insurance? How do I find anorthodontist in Central Arkansas by insurance? We know all these questions can be stressful when you're using your benefits for the first time. Once you provide your insurance information, employer information, and an ID card, we'll do our best to give you as much information as possible. However, we also recommend that you contact your insurance provider directly to hear it straight from the source if you have any questions about what your coverage allows. Our dental team has prepared this list of recommended questions to help you research your coverage:

• What is my plan’s orthodontic deductible limit?
• Does my dental insurance cover Invisalign®?
• Does my dental insurance cover interceptive orthodontic treatment, limited orthodontic treatment, and/or comprehensive orthodontic treatment?
• Are there waiting periods for orthodontics?
• Are missing teeth covered?
• What are my lifetime orthodontic benefits? (Percentage covered and maximum amount) Typically, this is written in your policy like this…”50% coverage with a $1,000.00 lifetime maximum.” This means insurance will cover treatment with both of those criteria until the maximum is met. So if your plan covers 50% with a max of $1,000.00, but your treatment costs $3,000.00, then your insurance will only cover the $1,000.00 maximum, and leave the rest of the treatment fee for you to pay.
• Will I need prior authorization for orthodontic procedures?
• Which orthodontist in my area takes my insurance?

If you don't already know the answer, ask your insurance company if your plan is a PPO or HMO plan. Generally, PPO plans have a larger network, and the office will know any fee schedules that may apply to the types of treatment they offer. While HMOs can be more restrictive when it comes to the orthodontist you can see, they generally have lower premiums.

Our office team is here to be your partners in making sense of your dental insurance. You're not alone if you find dental coverage to be confusing and complicated. Like many of our patients, you may be looking for answers about what is covered and what is not. In addition to helping you to utilize your insurance benefits, our team will also help you to manage any out-of-pocket expenses using our flexible in-office financing options.
