It is a common misconception that cosmetic dental treatments are not covered by dental plans. In our experience, many of the cosmetic treatments we do at Bristol Dental Clinic are partly or sometimes fully covered by most dental insurances if they are functional in nature even when the final result may seem to have improved the cosmetic value of the patient’s mouth.
On the other hand, we also caution patients that relying totaling on insurance coverages to undergo cosmetic treatments may not result in optimum results since insurance companies design plans based on the needs of a healthy young individual, not an average individual who has more dental work than a healthy person. In any case, we never do any cosmetic treatment here without checking with the patient or their insurance company.
