we work with

At MiraMar Family Dental we understand that oral health is an essential component of your overall wellness. If you have dental insurance, you can access a variety of benefits: from prevention to treatment of more complex diseases.

The dental insurance we work with are PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) and allow our patients to enjoy high quality care without financial worries, but more importantly: to choose the specialists of their choice. Unlike HMOs (Health Maintenance Organization).

The importance of dental insurance

It is often misunderstood that dental coverage should only be activated in critical situations, as opposed to how medical insurance is commonly used, reserved for emergencies or serious injuries. However, it is advisable to use dental insurance frequently, ideally every six months.

This is because its main objective is to cover preventive care, which is essential to maintain long-term oral health and reduce costly treatments.

Full coverage dental insurance includes plans that help cover:

Preventive care: includes regular cleanings, x-rays and fluoride treatments.
Basic restorative care: fillings, extractions and non-routine radiographs.
Major restorative care: involves bridges, crowns and dentures.
Orthodontic treatment: space maintainers, orthodontic appliances and dental alignment.

Note that:

Although it is called “full coverage,” it does not mean that the plan covers 100% of the costs.

PPO plans

PPO refers to Preferred Provider Organization. Compared to an HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) plan, this type of plan gives you more flexibility in choosing dentists. In other words, they are plans that offer more provider options and greater flexibility, but at higher costs. Unlike HMOs, you do not need a primary care physician and can see specialists directly.
