UnitedHealthcare Dental Insurance

Better Insurance for Large Families

UnitedHealthcare offers two levels of dental insurance that, in essence, act as PPO plans. The dentists with the Placerville Dental Group are available to you with the higher quality, patient choice Premier plan. UnitedHealthcare offers a large national network of over 210,000 dental providers, making this a good option if you plan on moving out of California.

The Large Family Benefit

Because of how UnitedHealthcare applies individual deductibles, this plan is great for large families. For each family member, a $50 deductible is paid for any dental services beyond typical preventive care of cleanings and check-ups. Once you reach $150 in deductibles, however, you no longer have any more deductibles applied to your family that year. So if you have four or more family members and all need dental treatment, your deductible costs are less compared to other programs.

The Premier Insurance Plan

The Premier dental insurance plan is the best level of coverage provided by UnitedHealthcare. With Premier coverage, if you desire to use an out-of-network dentist, UnitedHealthcare pays your “reasonable” dental expenses, up to $1000 per family member annually. You can use the Premier plan with the Placerville Dental Group.

I just returned from living in Mexico for three years. While the dentists in Mexico are well qualified (mine worked in Tucson, AZ, for six years), their facilities are somewhat lacking if you are in a small town.I went in for an exam and cleaning. I suspected a couple of problems, but didn't say much before the exam. The dental assistant did a thorough job of taking the x-rays on equipment I have not seen before. The dentist confirmed my suspicions and gave me a treatment plan.Most impressive was Nick the dental hygienist. I have never had such a cleaning before! He even anesthetized my gums before starting to make sure I did not experience any undue discomfort. He went over the treatment plan with me, and I was very clear how to proceed in the coming weeks and months. I highly recommend Placerville Dental Group for your dental care.
