How MetLife Helps Make Dental Care More Affordable

Do you have MetLife dental insurance? Whether you purchased your policy individually or received it through your employer, it's important to make the most of it. This valuable resource can protect your smile from decay and gum disease, and provide financial assistance if you ever need restorative care. But how can you get the most out of your policy? Our team is proud to be in-network with MetLife dental insurance and are experts in helping our patients maximize their benefits.

Delta Dental Coverage Availability & Fees

MetLife offers a variety of insurance plans, with PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) and DHMO (Dental Health Maintenance Organization) plans being the most common. Here's a basic overview of how PPO coverage typically works:
  • Preventive Care (cleanings, X-rays, etc.): 80% - 100% covered
  • Minor Restorative Care (fillings, simple extractions, etc.): 70% - 80% covered
  • Major Services (crowns, extensive treatments, etc.): 50% covered
  • Specialty Services (orthodontics, dental implants, etc.): Coverage varies by policy

Note that PPO plans offer the flexibility to visit any dentist and still use your benefits. However, you may receive better coverage rates at an in-network MetLife dentist in Pasadena compared to out-of-network practices.

We have a contract with MetLife, which helps both MetLife and our patients save money. As a provider experienced with MetLife, we can help you maximize your policy benefits. For example, we might schedule treatments in a way that allows you to use two annual maximums rather than one. This involves planning major services across multiple appointments spanning different calendar years to make the most of your annual maximum (the highest dollar amount your policy will pay out for approved treatments within a year).
