Aetna – Fairfax, VA

Aetna Coverage Availability & Fees

Aetna is a leading provider of comprehensive dental plans for individuals and families. Paying your monthly premiums gives you access to a nationwide network of dental professionals. You'll benefit from reduced rates for common treatments. Although every plan differs, most policies include:

• 100% coverage for preventive services.
• 80% coverage for minor restorative services.
• 50% coverage for major restorative services.

Aetna's dental plans focus on prevention to stop common oral health issues from occurring, like tooth decay and gum disease. As a result, you'll preserve your natural smile to lessen the risk of needing costly treatment later. Research has shown that every $1 spent on prevention can save $50 on emergency and restorative fees. You can visit your dentist every 6 months for a cleaning and checkup after a copayment using your dental insurance in Fairfax. If your dentist finds anything concerning, you can have it treated quickly without worrying about a large bill.

After meeting your deductible, you can use your annual allowance to reduce your out-of-pocket expenses for common restorative services, like fillings, root canals, or gum disease therapy.

Aetna recommends choosing a dentist in their network to enjoy more coverage at the time of services. They have pre-negotiated rates with certain dental practices to reduce the cost of care. However, you can still choose an out-of-network dentist. You can use your coverage, but you'll have to pay the difference between the office fees and your policy's allowable amount. Our office accepts both in-network and out-of-network patients.

We will help you maximize your annual benefits before they expire at the end of the year. On average, less than 3% of Americans exceed their annual limits. You aren't reimbursed for your premiums or deductible if you don't maximize your allowance, and nothing will accumulate. We don't want to see you throw money down the drain. We know dental insurance can be confusing, but you don't have to navigate your policy alone.
