More Than a Dentist: Access to Dental Specialists with CarePlus Coverage

Choosing a dental plan isn’t just about covering routine cleanings and checkups. It’s also important to know where you can turn if you or a family member needs more specialized dental care.

With CarePlus Dental Plans, members have access to Dental Associates, where general dentists and dental specialists work together to provide a wide range of care. That means you can establish a dental home for routine care while also having access to specialists like orthodontists or oral surgeons should your needs ever change.

Dental Care for Different Stages of Life 

A person’s dental needs can change over their lifetime. A child may need to see a pediatric dentist. A teenager may need orthodontic care and wisdom teeth removal. An adult may eventually need treatment for gum disease, a root canal, or a dental implant.

Dental Associates offers comprehensive access to multiple areas of dentistry, including:

• General Dentistry – Preventive care, exams, cleanings, fillings, and everyday dental needs.
• Pediatric Dentistry – Dental care designed specifically for infants, children, and teens.
• Orthodontics – Treatment to improve the alignment of teeth and bites, including braces and other orthodontic options. (Both children and adults can benefit from this treatment, and Dental Associates offers both traditional braces as well as clear aligners from Invisalign.)
• Periodontics – Specialized treatment for the gums and supporting structures of the teeth.
• Endodontics – Specialized care focused on saving teeth, including root canal treatment.
• Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery – Surgical dental care, including procedures such as tooth extractions.
• Prosthodontics – Advanced restoration and replacement of teeth, including complex restorative needs.

The Benefit of Connected Dental Care

Having access to different dental specialties within the same organization – and sometimes even from the same dental clinic – can make navigating your care easier.

If your general dentist determines that you need specialized treatment, they can refer you to the appropriate Dental Associates specialist. Because providers are part of the same dental organization, your care can be coordinated... from routine visits through more advanced treatment.

For families, that can be especially helpful. Different members of your household may have very different dental needs, but they can receive care from the same Dental Associates clinic. Imagine the convenience of having all your dental care performed at one location, and all from your one CarePlus plan!
