Understanding your benefits
Dental plans are all different. So, you won’t see cost information here. Instead, check your benefits summary to find your share of the costs.
Visit any licensed dentist – in or out of network
In network:
- Visit a dentist in the Aetna Dental PPO* network.
- Network dentists offer special rates for covered services. So, your share of the cost is usually lower.
- Network dentists also file claims for you.
Out of network:
- Visit any licensed dentist outside the network.
- You may pay more when you get care from dentists who aren’t in the network.**
- You may also have to file your own claims.
Costs may include:
Deductible: the dollar amount some plans require you to pay for services before coverage starts.
Coinsurance: the percentage of dental care expenses you pay after your deductible. Your dental plan pays the rest. For example, you pay 20%, and your plan pays 80%. Your dental plan may have yearly and lifetime limits on coverage. There also may be age and frequency limits on some services.

DISCOUNT OFFERS ARE NOT INSURANCE. They are not benefits under your insurance plan. You get access to discounts off the regular charge on products and services offered by third-party vendors and providers. Aetna® makes no payment to the third parties — you are responsible for the full cost. Check any insurance plan benefits you have before using these discount offers, as those benefits may give you lower costs than these discounts.
Dental PPO insurance plans are underwritten and/or administered by Aetna Life Insurance Company (Aetna).
