Depending on the dental insurance plan you select, you may need pre-authorization before obtaining dental services beyond preventive care. Generally, if you need major services, you can ask your dentist to submit a proposed treatment plan to your insurance company. That can help you determine what your out-of-pocket costs for services will be. If you have additional questions, be sure to contact your insurance company for specific details about your plan benefits.
