Learn More About the Benefits of MetLife
A healthy smile is the key to good overall health. Unfortunately, oral hygiene habits like brushing and flossing are not enough to keep your teeth and gums in tip-top shape. You must also visit your dentist regularly for preventive dental care. Worried about how this can affect your wallet? That’s where dental insurance comes into play!
Dr. Her is proud to be in-network with MetLife, meaning we can help you maximize your benefits to reduce your out-of-pocket expenses. Routine checkups and cleanings are usually fully covered and help prevent the need for more costly treatments. By visiting us at Lifetime Dental every six months, you significantly reduce the risk of incurring expenses for services with lower coverage.

MetLife Coverage Availability & Fees
MetLife offers a range of dental insurance plans, making it challenging to generalize coverage for everyone. Although every plan differs from patient to patient, standard benefits typically include:
- 100% coverage for preventive services such as checkups and cleanings
- 70-80% coverage for minor restorative care, including tooth-colored fillings
- 50% coverage for major restorative services, such as crowns, dentures, and bridges
Like many other insurance companies, MetLife does not usually cover cosmetic dental treatments as they’re usually considered elective procedures. By staying on top of your routine preventive care, you can keep your teeth and gums healthy to avoid expensive complications in the future. In fact, studies estimate that every $1 spent on preventive care can save you up to $50 on restorative fees.
It’s worth noting that your benefits will reset at the end of the calendar year. Anything left unused will simply expire. Our team doesn’t want to see you throw money away, which is why we recommend choosing to visit a MetLife dentist in Gainesville.
