United Healthcare Coverage Availability & Fees
Most UnitedHealthcare plans provide 100% coverage for preventive services, including dental checkups and cleanings, X-rays, and similar treatments. These help improve your oral health and reduce the risk of common dental problems that may require more expensive restorative solutions.
This kind of savings is why Dr. Lavery encourages patients to keep regular six-month dental checkups. Not only do they allow him to catch problems in their earliest stages, but they also come at little or no cost to you.
However, if a problem does arise, such as a cavity, dental decay, infection, or damage, United Healthcare is still here to help. Depending on the type of treatment needed, they will agree to cover 50-80% of the total cost, based on whether you’ve met your deductible and how much of your yearly maximum remains available.
As an in-network dentist, Dr. Lavery will ensure you save on preventive or restorative treatment. If we find that you are nearing your insurance's total annual allotment, we will try to spread it over calendar years, so you pay less out of pocket.
