Aetna Dentist – Burke, VA

Learn More About the Benefits of Aetna

If you have an Aetna dental insurance plan, you can use it when you visit your general dentist to enjoy reduced fees on essential services, such as preventive maintenance. But what if you require more extensive treatment, such as oral surgery? Will your policy still be able to help you out? Possibly. Our team is proud to be an in-network Aetna dentist and oral surgeon in Burke. You can rely on us to help you understand how your benefits work so you can take full advantage of them.

Aetna Coverage Availability & Fees

Aetna offers a few different PPP dental insurance plans, which allow you to use your benefits when you visit any dentist or specialist (including oral surgeons). Coverage can vary greatly depending on the details of your specific policy, so you should look over your plan’s paperwork in order to get a thorough understanding of how it works. In the meantime, you can look at this basic overview of the coverage that is often provided by Aetna plans:

  • Preventive care: 100% covered. This includes cleanings, exams, and routine X-rays.
  • Basic services: Up to 80% covered. Basic services encompass non-surgical tooth extractions, fillings, and emergency pain relief.
  • Major services: Up to 50% covered. Some of the procedures provided by our practice fall into this category.

Even though your Aetna PPO plan allows you to visit any licensed dental practitioner, it is in your best interests to choose one that is in-network with your benefits. Our in-network status means that we have a relationship with Aetna that equips us to help our patients get the most out of their coverage. For example, your total out-of-pocket cost might be slightly lower than at out of network providers.

Plus, because we are familiar with how Aetna policies work, we may be able to help you get more value out of your annual maximum (the yearly limit that Aetna places on how much they will pay for approved services). In some cases, this involves scheduling major procedures between calendar years so you can use two annual maximums rather than just one.
