Understanding Your Plan

Coverage Varies - Let's Sort It Out Together

No two dental insurance plans are exactly alike, even when they come from the same carrier. Annual maximums, deductibles, waiting periods, frequency limitations, and covered procedure categories can all differ based on your employer's plan design or the individual policy you've purchased.

Because of this, being "in-network" with a carrier doesn't automatically mean every procedure is covered at 100%, and being "out-of-network" doesn't necessarily mean you have no coverage at all. That's why our front-desk team takes the time to review your benefits before treatment, so you know what to expect financially with no surprises at checkout.

Below is a general listing of insurance providers our patients commonly use at our practice. If you don't see your carrier listed, please contact our office - we work with many additional plans and can verify your specific benefits directly.

Accepted Providers

Insurance Plans We Work With

Our office coordinates with many major dental insurance carriers to help you get the most from your benefits. This list reflects providers we frequently work with; availability may change, so please verify your specific plan with our team before your appointment.

Don't see your provider listed above? It doesn't necessarily mean we can't work with your plan. Give us a call at (301) 421-1002 and we'll check for you.

How It Works

What to Expect With Your Benefits

From your first phone call to the moment you leave our office, our team is here to help you understand and use your dental benefits wisely. Here's how the process typically works at Drewyer Dentistry Burtonsville.

Share Your Plan Details

When you book your appointment, give us your insurance carrier and member ID. We'll gather the details we need to check your coverage ahead of time.

We Verify Your Benefits

Our insurance coordinators contact your carrier or review your plan portal to confirm your annual maximum, deductible, and coverage percentages for recommended treatment.

Clear Cost Estimate

Before any treatment begins, we walk you through an estimate of what your insurance is expected to cover and what your out-of-pocket portion will likely be.

You Receive Care

With coverage details in hand, you can move forward with treatment confidently, knowing there won't be unexpected costs waiting for you at checkout.

We File the Claim

For in-network plans, we handle claim submission directly with your carrier, so you don't have to manage paperwork or reimbursement requests on your own.

Flexible Options for the Rest

If you're uninsured or your plan doesn't cover the full cost, we offer in-house savings options and financing plans to help keep care within reach.

No Insurance? No Problem

Care Options Beyond Traditional Insurance

Not every patient we see carries dental insurance, and that's okay. Whether you're between jobs, self-employed, retired, or your employer simply doesn't offer a dental plan, you still deserve access to preventive and restorative care without unnecessary stress.

We're happy to discuss an in-house membership-style savings option, transparent fee-for-service pricing, and third-party financing partners that let you spread the cost of treatment over manageable monthly payments. Ask our team about what fits your situation during your next visit or when you call to schedule.

A Few Things to Know

Helpful Reminders About Dental Benefits

  • Most plans reset annual maximums on January 1st - using remaining benefits before year-end can help you avoid losing them.
  • Preventive visits like cleanings and exams are frequently covered at or near 100%, even on basic plans.
  • Some procedures, like crowns or implants, may carry waiting periods if you're newly enrolled in a plan.
  • Out-of-network benefits often still apply - many PPO plans reimburse a portion of treatment even outside their network.

Common Questions

Insurance & Benefits FAQ

Do you accept my dental insurance plan?

We work with many major dental insurance carriers and PPO plans. Because coverage details vary widely even within the same carrier, the best way to confirm your specific plan is accepted is to call our office at (301) 421-1002 or check the provider list above. Our team can verify your benefits before your visit.

What if my insurance provider isn't listed on this page?

Not seeing your carrier listed doesn't mean we can't help. Many PPO plans offer out-of-network benefits that we can still bill on your behalf, and our provider list is updated periodically as relationships change. Reach out to our front desk with your insurance information and we'll confirm your options directly.

Will my insurance cover the full cost of treatment?

It depends on your plan design. Preventive care such as routine cleanings and exams is often covered at or near 100%, while restorative treatments like fillings, crowns, and root canals are typically covered at a partial percentage after your deductible is met. We provide a written estimate before treatment so you always know what to expect.

Do you file insurance claims on my behalf?

Yes. For most insurance plans, our team submits claims directly to your carrier so you don't have to manage the paperwork yourself. We handle documentation, coding, and follow-up communication with insurers as part of your visit.

What options do I have if I don't have dental insurance?

Uninsured patients are always welcome at our practice. We offer transparent fee-for-service pricing, an in-house savings option for routine and preventive care, and third-party financing plans that allow you to spread treatment costs into manageable monthly payments. Ask our team to walk you through what fits your budget.

How can I find out exactly what my plan covers before my appointment?

Call our office ahead of your visit with your insurance carrier name and member ID, and our insurance coordinators will verify your benefits, deductible, and annual maximum in advance. That way, we can review a cost estimate with you before any treatment begins - no surprises.
