We are frequently asked what dental insurance plans we accept and if we are accepting new patients. One of the plans we accept is Guardian Dental. We have partnered with Guardian for many years and have developed a good working relationship with their team.
They typically cover preventative services at 100%. Regular cleanings/prophys/exams are allowed one time per six months. This means that you have to be careful about the "timing". One limitation of many of the Guardian plans that they pay only for the silver fillings, which means the patient must pay for the difference between the silver/amalgam and the tooth colored/composite filling. Another limitation is that many times they do not pay for the build up portion of a crown. Most times a build up is necessary for crown retention. So, again , this becomes an additional expense to the patient. Another important limitation that many Guardian plans have is the replacement frequency of crown and bridges. Many times that frequency is as much as ten years.
I hope this helps to answer some questions regarding your Guardian Dental benefits. If you have more questions, please contact me.
