Using your Ameritas plan at our Stonecrest office
Ameritas offers dental plans through employers and directly to individuals and families. Individual plans are a common choice for families without employer dental coverage, and some have waiting periods before certain services are covered.
Whether your Ameritas plan is through work or one you bought yourself, send us the member ID and we'll confirm what's covered and when.
Ameritas plan types we accept
What Ameritas usually helps cover for children
Every Ameritas 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
