Why Dental Care Matters
Taking care of your teeth isn’t just about a nice smile—it’s part of staying healthy overall. Regular cleanings and checkups can prevent more serious (and more expensive) problems later on. That’s why dental coverage is important, and why EMI Health offers a range of plan options to fit different needs.
Your employer may offer different types of dental plans:
PPO Plans (Preferred Provider Organization)
These plans split the cost of care between you and the insurance. You may pay a percentage of the cost for services after meeting a deductible. They often offer more flexibility in choosing your dentist.
Copay Plans
These plans work more like a fixed menu. You pay set amounts (copays) for each type of service, so costs are easier to predict up front.

Orthodontics
Includes cleanings, checkups, and routine X-rays. These are usually covered at a higher level and may not require you to pay anything out-of-pocket when you use an in-network provider.
Includes treatments like fillings and simple extractions. These services are often shared between you and the plan, depending on your specific benefits.
Includes crowns, bridges, dentures, and other more involved procedures. These are typically covered at a lower percentage and may come with higher out-of-pocket costs.
Covers braces and other alignment services. If your plan includes orthodontic coverage, it typically has a lifetime maximum per person. This means the plan will only pay up to a certain amount for orthodontic care—ever.
