What If I Have Insurance?
Currently, our Maysville location is in network with Delta Dental Premier and Dental Care Plus. At our other locations, Heritage Dental Center is not in-network with insurance providers. However, we will bill your insurance directly on your behalf.
How it Works:
- Provide Insurance Information: When you arrive, provide your insurance details so we can file the claim directly with your provider.
- We Handle the Billing: Even though we’re not in-network, we’ll submit your insurance claim for you and work with your provider to process the payment.
- Pay Your Portion: After your insurance has processed the claim, you’ll be responsible for any remaining balance not covered by your insurance.
***Please note, payment in full is due at the time of service.
Insurance Providers We Accept
Heritage Dental Center works with many dental insurance providers and can bill your plan directly on your behalf. Our team helps patients review benefits, estimate out-of-pocket costs and understand how coverage applies before treatment begins. Explore the insurance providers below to learn more about using your dental benefits at our Northern Kentucky offices.
How Much Does Dental Insurance Cover in Kentucky?
Many dental insurance plans follow a 100/80/50 coverage structure, although benefits vary by provider, plan, and your location:
| Type of Dental Care | Typical Coverage | Common Services |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 100% | Exams, cleanings, routine X-rays | |
| Around 80% | Fillings, simple extractions, some root canal treatment | |
| Around 50% | Crowns, bridges, dentures, some dental implant treatment |
Insurance percentages are generally applied to the plan's allowed fee rather than the dentist's full treatment cost, so your actual out-of-pocket responsibility may vary based on your deductible, annual maximum, network status and other plan limitations. Looking at average treatment costs alongside common coverage levels can provide a clearer picture of how dental insurance may affect what you pay for care. To get Heritage Dental Center's pricing on any of the listed dental services, please contact our office.

What Affects Your Out-of-Pocket Dental Costs?
Your actual out-of-pocket dental costs depend on your insurance plan, the type of treatment you receive, and how much of your annual benefits you have already used. Several factors can influence what you pay for care, including:
Deductible
The amount you may need to pay before your insurance begins contributing toward certain services.
Coinsurance
The percentage of treatment costs you are responsible for after your insurance pays its portion.
Annual Maximum
The maximum amount your dental insurance will pay toward covered services during the plan year.
Network Benefits
Your out-of-pocket responsibility may differ depending on whether your dentist is considered in-network or out-of-network by your plan.
Coverage Limitations
Waiting periods, frequency limits, exclusions, and other plan restrictions can affect whether a service is covered.
