Cosmetic Dentistry

Most dental insurance plans focus primarily on providing partial coverage for necessary treatments that maintain your oral health, rather than procedures designed solely to improve appearance. Typically, cosmetic dentistry procedures are considered elective and may not be covered by standard dental insurance.

We Can Help You Navigate Dental Insurance

At May Dentistry, we understand that navigating insurance coverage can be confusing. Generally, insurance companies distinguish between restorative procedures (which are often covered) and cosmetic ones (which frequently are not). For example, if you need a crown to protect a damaged tooth, insurance may cover it, but if you want veneers purely for aesthetic reasons, you may need to pay out-of-pocket.

However, some procedures fall into a gray area. Dental bonding might be covered if it repairs structural damage, but not if it only addresses minor discoloration. Similarly, tooth-colored fillings might be partially covered, with insurance paying the equivalent of a silver filling while you cover the difference.

We Offer Convenient Payment Solutions

Dr. May and our experienced team are happy to help you understand your specific insurance benefits. For patients without insurance or those whose desired treatments aren't covered, we offer flexible payment options and a wellness membership plan to help make your smile goals achievable.

During your consultation at our North Palm Beach dental office, we'll discuss the clinical aspects of your treatment and the financial considerations to ensure you can make a fully informed decision.
