Guardian Dentist – Gainesville, GA
Get the Most Out of Your Guardian Insurance
Practicing good oral hygiene at home is important if you want to reduce your risk of cavities, gum disease, and even tooth loss. However, this often isn’t enough to ensure the kind of cleanliness that your smile deserves. This is why preventive care is so essential. By seeing your dentist every six months for a dental checkup and cleaning, you can significantly improve your oral and overall health. But what about the cost? As a Guardian dentist in Gainesville, Dr. Her can help you save on preventive and restorative services so that you not only enjoy a healthier smile but also avoid high out-of-pocket costs associated with treatment. Call us today to learn how we can help you avoid spending more on the high-quality dental care you need.
Guardian Coverage Availability & Fees
Depending on your PPO dental plan with Guardian, you can expect that your plan will look slightly different than someone else’s. The amount you pay each month as well as your deductible and annual maximum will have different costs, but the coverage levels may look more similar, such as:
- 80-100% preventive services (i.e., dental exams, cleanings, X-rays)
- 70-80% minor restorative services (i.e., dental fillings, simple tooth extractions)
- 50% major restorative services (i.e., dentures, dental crowns, complex extractions)
It’s unlikely that dental implants or cosmetic dentistry will be covered, as these are still viewed as non-essential procedures. Although there are some stipulations and exceptions your insurer might make, you’ll likely need to find an alternative way to pay for these types of services.
The good news is that based on the benefits listed above, you can worry less about the cost of an upcoming root canal, dental crown, or tooth extraction. As long as you’ve met your deductible, your insurance company will pay more for treatment. This is one of the unique benefits of choosing an in-network dentist like Lifetime Dental.
Our contract with Guardian allows us to establish various fees for services that you might require throughout the year. Instead of being required to pay the full amount upfront, you will only pay a portion - what the insurance company will not cover. This leads to greater savings and a healthier smile.
