• Are there limits on how many visits can be made to the dentist in a single year?
• What types of procedures are covered? Are high-quality materials covered as part of the dental plan?
• How much are copayments for various services? Will you pay a visit fee in addition to the cost of your treatment?
• Do certain procedures require preauthorization by the dental insurance company? If so, which procedures and treatments should be preauthorized to receive full coverage?
• Are any cosmetic procedures covered? Are dental implants considered restorative or cosmetic under the plan? Are teeth whitening visits covered by the dental plan?
• Is orthodontic work covered? If so, what types of braces and orthodontic treatments are included in the coverage? Does the dental plan cover Invisalign® tray aligners and other modern treatment options?

If you need further guidance to find a dentist in Clearwater by insurance type that will work for you and your family, Florida Dental Centers Clearwater can provide you with detailed information on the differences between PPOs and HMOs and on the best options for your specific set of needs. We are here to help you choose the right dental insurance for yourself and your family in the Clearwater area.

Which Type of Dental Insurance Is Right for Me?

The two most common types of dental insurance are PPOs and HMOs. A PPO allows you greater choice in which dentist you see, while an HMO offers lower premiums and limits your network of participating providers. HMOs can be a cost-effective choice for patients who see dentists already in the network or who have not yet chosen a provider for their dental care needs. PPOs, by contrast, typically offer a wider range of services and cost somewhat more in premiums. Whether you need a dentist that accepts PPO insurance or a qualified dentist that accepts HMO insurance, chances are that our team can accommodate your requirements.
