Using your Aetna plan at our Stonecrest office
Aetna offers dental PPO plans that let you choose your pediatric dentist, and dental HMO plans (sometimes called DMO plans) that require members to use an assigned primary dentist.
Aetna dental is often a separate plan from Aetna medical. If you have an Aetna dental PPO card, send us the member ID and we'll take care of the rest.
Aetna plan types we accept
What Aetna usually helps cover for children
Every Aetna plan is different, but most dental PPO plans organize benefits the same way. Preventive care is typically covered at the highest level; basic and major treatment is covered at a lower percentage after your deductible, up to an annual maximum. We confirm your plan's exact numbers before treatment.
- Preventive care — exams, cleanings, fluoride and often sealants
- Digital x-rays — usually on a set schedule
- Fillings and crowns — typically basic or major services
- Nerve treatment and emergency care — covered according to your plan
- Sedation — varies widely, so we always check first
