MetLife Coverage Availability & Fees

Enrolling in a MetLife dental insurance plan will give you the best chance to avoid the high price of oral healthcare while still being able to receive the treatment your smile needs. As a company that has been around for decades, its plans are structured to encourage preventive care while also providing fair coverage for more invasive and extensive dental work. For example, a typical MetLife PPO plan might look like the following:

  • 100% coverage for preventive services that include dental exams, dental cleanings, X-rays, and oral cancer screenings
  • 80% coverage for minor restorative services that include dental fillings and simple tooth extractions
  • 50% coverage for major restorative services that include wisdom tooth extractions

To access these benefits, you must not only pay your monthly premium but also meet your annual deductible. This is usually minimal (i.e., $50-75) but is required before you can begin to take advantage of these greater savings.

You can expect your MetLife insurance company to also review your annual maximum before agreeing to pay their portion. In certain cases, our team may be able to reduce your chances of paying more out of pocket if your procedure costs more than what is available as part of your yearly maximum. If possible, we will extend the timeline of your treatment over multiple calendar years.

This kind of flexibility is one of the many reasons it is worth finding an in-network MetLife dentist. Although it’s not a requirement, it can help you save in the long run.
