Learn how your dental plan works

Crowns

If you have a tooth that’s infected, cracked, or broken, you may need a dental crown. Covering a damaged tooth with a crown lets you save as much of your tooth as possible.

Dental networks

Most Regence plans allow you to see any dental provider for services, but seeing a dentist in our provider network will help ensure you receive cost-effective, high-quality care.

Extractions

We like to think that our teeth will last a lifetime. They might, but sometimes we have to have a tooth pulled. Your teeth help you eat and they even define the shape of your face, so it’s understandable that we don’t look forward to dental extractions.

Finding the right dentist for you

Choosing a dentist you like and trust is an important decision. Your dentist is part of your health care team and helps you keep your mouth healthy.

Gum treatments

One of the most common oral health issues is gum disease. It’s also a major cause of tooth loss in adults.

How your dental plan works

What do you get when you buy a dental plan? Just like health insurance, you get access to a network of dentists and coverage for care and treatment you receive.
