Individual dental insurance for teeth whitening
Question: I am looking to have my teeth whiten. I have slightly yellowish teeth and whitening toothpaste is not really helping me whiten them up. My dentist said they can do a whiten treatment there at the office that would really make my teeth look nice. However after checking with my dental insurance I was told they would not cover anything for teeth whitening treatments. Is there any dental insurance plan that I could get just to cover my whitening treatment? If not any advise on how to whiten my teeth?
Answer: In general insurance companies normally will not provide benefits for teeth whitening treatments, as it is review as cosmetic service which is generally not covered. You may wish to review a dental discount plan. With most dental discount plans you will be able to save 15 to 20 percent off the cost of whitening treatments as well as provide you saving off all your dental care needs.
