Why doesn't insurance cover my recommended treatment?

Your insurance coverage is a contract between your employer and the insurance company. Specific negotiated limitations keep the premiums down.

Insurance may partially cover the cost of treatment, but it should not dictate your dental care. You and your dentist need to decide what treatment is appropriate for you regardless of details of insurance parameters.
