Will the entire New Patient Exam be covered by my insurance?
The thorough comprehensive exam includes, documenting any cavities, missing or unerupted teeth, existing restorations, gum disease and an oral cancer check. All of these examinations are usually covered 100% under most benefit plans. If your Perio charting returns showing healthy gums and bone, than a prophylaxis cleaning will be done.
If the Perio charting comes back with unhealthy tissue and a prophylaxis cleaning can not be done, the appropriate deep cleaning would be completed. Deep cleanings vary based on severity and an out of pocket expense can be expected for this treatment.
