$0 Cleanings with Most PPO Insurance Plans at Pascack Valley Dental

Many patients with PPO dental insurance may qualify for $0 out-of-pocket routine cleanings, making preventive care more accessible than ever.

At Pascack Valley Dental, we accept most PPO dental insurance plans and help patients make the most of their benefits. In many cases, routine cleanings and exams are covered at 100% by PPO insurance, meaning eligible patients may pay $0 out of pocket for preventive care. The American Dental Association has urged insurers to cover preventive services such as cleanings at least twice a year, because regular visits help catch cavities and gum problems before they become larger and more costly.

Our team will verify your insurance benefits ahead of your visit and explain your coverage so there are no surprises. If you have PPO dental insurance in Emerson or elsewhere in Bergen County, you can schedule a visit and put your preventive benefits to use.

Coverage varies by plan. $0 out-of-pocket cleanings apply to most PPO plans but are not guaranteed. Our team will verify your specific benefits prior to your appointment.

How Your Dental Benefits Work With Our Office

Most PPO plans sort care into categories such as preventive, basic, and major services, and each category may be covered at a different percentage. Your plan may also include a deductible and a yearly maximum, which is why two patients with the same carrier can have different out-of-pocket costs.

Our office is in network through Connection Dental, and the carriers in the table below are the plans we are currently in network with. Before your visit, our team looks up your benefits and walks you through what your plan may cover, so you know what to expect before you sit down in the chair. We can also help patients verify coverage for plans they are already enrolled in.
