Use the following guidelines as you offer smile protection to patients.

 

PATIENT ELIGIBILITY

  • Patient is free from pre-existing medical conditions that would impact treatment success

TREATMENT / APPLIANCE ELIGIBILITY

  • Treatment is not temporary, experimental, untested, or unproven
  • Treatment is not an alternative to more permanent and recommended plan for the patient
  • Dentist is free from reasonable doubt that treatment will last at least the term length of coverage
  • Procedure is listed under Eligible Procedures, as provided by Dental Warranty
SPECIFIC PROCEDURES & APPLIANCES NOT ELIGIBLE FOR COVERAGE:
  • Snap On Smile
  • Clear tray aligners
    • Including but not limited to:
      • Invisalign
      • ClearCorrect (Straumann)
      • SureSmile Clear Aligners (previously MTM Clear Aligners – Dentsply Sirona)
      • 3M Clarity Aligners
  • Thermoplastic retainers
    • Including but not limited to:
      • Vivera (Invisalign retainer)
      • Essix Plastics material
      • Zendura material
  • Resin-bonded bridges (‘Maryland Bridge’)
  • Temporary removable partial dentures (‘flippers’)

PRIOR COVERAGE, 2X LIMIT

  • Treatment (same tooth, same procedure) has not already failed 2 times under coverage
  • Coverage may be issued up to 2 times per instance of the same tooth and procedure
    • a 3rd warranty on same tooth, same procedure is not offered to the patient
    • coverage may be offered if procedure/treatment is considered next step – the treatment is a different procedure
  • As a reminder, each warranty holds a value equal to the original treatment fee of the covered procedure. When fully redeemed (entire value used for replacement), you may offer a new warranty on the re-treatment. Your patient doesn’t pay again for the procedure itself, only their fee for the new protection plan.
