A healthy, beautiful smile isn’t just about looks; it can help keep your mind and body strong for a lifetime. In addition to taking excellent care of your teeth and gums at home, it is important to protect your smile with routine preventive dental exams and cleanings from Green Hills Dental Center.  

In an effort to help make your oral health care more affordable, Dr. Kirby has proudly teamed with Aetna Dental Insurance as an in-network provider. That means whether you need regular maintenance or smile saving emergency care, you’ll pay less for treatment at Green Hills Dental Center when you use your Aetna Dental Insurance coverage.

Aetna Coverage Availability & Fees

At Green Hills Dental Center, Dr. Kirby has earned a reputation for providing high quality oral health treatment for patients of all ages, and your Aetna Dental Insurance can make you and your family’s treatment more affordable when you use it here. By investing just a small amount of money each month, your Aetna Dental Insurance coverage grants you access to nationwide network of dentists at affordable prices. While each plan is different, most follow the same format:

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

Aetna dental insurance was designed to provide policyholders with access to affordable preventive and restorative oral health treatments so they can protect their teeth and gums today and avoid costly and painful dental problems later on. In fact, studies have even shown that for every $1 you spend on preventive care now, you can expect to save $50 dollars on future emergency and restorative treatments.

Once you’ve met your Aetna Dental Insurance deductible, you can use your annual allowance to lower your out-of-pocket costs on restorative treatments like dental fillings, crowns, and gum disease therapy.

Aetna recommends selecting a dentist who is in-network with your plan to maximize your savings. They’ve already done the work of negotiating rates with their extensive network of dentists, saving you time and money.

While you are always welcome to use your Aetna Dental Insurance with an out-of-network dentist, please be aware that they may require you to pay the difference between what your Aetna Dental Insurance plan will pay for and what you owe the dentist up front.

The Benefits of Seeing an In-Network Dentist

Although there are many dentists out there who will happily accept your Aetna Dental Insurance plan, this does not mean they are considered in-network with Aetna. Being in-network means that your dentist has made a special arrangement with Aetna to provide you with discounted rates on a variety of oral health treatments when you use your Aetna Dental Insurance coverage with them.
