Dental Insurance at Hillside Dental
At Hillside Dental, we’re passionate about your oral health and committed to making dental care affordable and stress-free. We understand that navigating dental insurance can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to simplify the process and help you maximize your benefits.
Please note that we do not accept Medicaid.
Understanding Dental Insurance
Whether you have insurance through an employer, a private plan, or are exploring alternatives, we’re dedicated to ensuring your pleasant and transparent experience with us. Dental insurance can significantly offset the costs of maintaining your oral health, but it’s important to understand your policy’s details to avoid surprises. At Hillside Dental, we work hand-in-hand with patients to clarify insurance benefits and make the most of their coverage.
How Does Dental Insurance Work?
Unlike medical insurance, dental insurance typically focuses on preventive care and basic procedures, offering partial coverage for restorative or cosmetic treatments. This means most plans cover preventive services like cleanings and exams at 100%, while more comprehensive procedures are covered between 50% and 80%, depending on your plan.
When you come to us, our friendly team will provide a detailed estimate of your coverage based on your treatment plan. This information includes insurance-covered portions, anticipated out-of-pocket costs, and options for financing any remaining balance.

What Affects Your Benefits?
Your insurance company determines the specifics of your plan, including the fee schedule, the treatments covered, and their reimbursement policies. Because of these variables, what your insurance covers may differ from someone else’s, even if they use the same provider. For example, one plan might include orthodontic coverage, while another may not.
At Hillside Dental, we take care of filing claims on your behalf to minimize hassle. Our team ensures the information is submitted electronically for faster processing. While we work hard to maximize your benefits, it’s important to note that we don’t have control over the final reimbursement decisions made by your insurer. However, if any discrepancies arise in your claims, we’ll support you in finding a resolution.
