The answer depends on the specific treatments included in your smile makeover and your insurance plan. Dental insurance generally distinguishes between cosmetic and restorative services, and coverage will vary.
Insurance Coverage for Full Smile Makeovers
Cosmetic Dental Treatments
Procedures like teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and gum contouring are typically considered cosmetic because they enhance appearance rather than restore function. Insurance does not usually cover these treatments.
Restorative Treatments
Restorative procedures such as dental crowns, bridges, implants, or fillings often address functional and health-related issues. Insurance plans may provide partial coverage for these treatments if they’re considered medically necessary. For example, replacing a missing tooth or restoring a damaged tooth is more likely to be covered than a purely cosmetic improvement.
