Ameritas Dentist Dallas

Learn More About the Benefits of Ameritas

If you have a dental insurance plan through Ameritas, you can count it as an asset! Not only can it open the door to low-cost preventive care, but it may also significantly lower your out-of-pocket obligation for important restorative services. Whether your plan is through an employer or something you purchased on your own, you should strive to use it to the full. How can you do so? As an in-network Ameritas dentist in Dallas, the team at Skillman Family Dentistry is ready to assist you.

Ameritas Coverage Availability & Fees

It is important to remember that Ameritas offers a number of different dental plans, each of which has a unique take on coverage. We encourage you to take some time to familiarize yourself with the details of your specific policy.

In the meantime, here are some general notes on Ameritas coverage:

  • Preventive care is up to 100% covered. This includes services like exams, cleanings, and routine X-rays.
  • Basic treatments may be up to 80% covered. Fillings, sealants, and other relatively simple services fall into this category.
  • Major treatments are up to 50% covered. Oral surgery, root canal therapy, gum disease treatment, and several other services are classified as major treatments.

Your plan is also likely to enforce a deductible, a waiting period, and an annual maximum (a yearly cap on your benefits). Some Ameritas plans have an annual maximum that increases in value for the first few years you hold coverage.
