About Ameritas Dental
Ameritas is a mutual insurance company based in Lincoln, Nebraska. It offers group dental plans through employers and individual plans you can buy yourself. Ameritas is known for plan features such as rollover benefits on some group plans and individual plans that can include coverage for major work after a waiting period.
Many Ameritas plans use the Ameritas Classic (PPO) network. Some members can also reach dentists through partner networks, so a dentist can show as in-network even when you didn’t find them through Ameritas directly.
How Madison Square Dental Works With Ameritas
Madison Square Dental’s insurance listing shows us in-network for Ameritas PPO plans. Whether you have a group plan from work or an individual Ameritas policy, we’ll check your benefits before your visit. Individual policies especially can have waiting periods for major services.
We never promise coverage: your plan decides what it pays, and we’ll show you an estimate before treatment.
What Ameritas Typically Covers
Like most large carriers, Ameritas groups services into three tiers. Preventive care (exams, cleanings, routine X-rays) is usually covered most generously. Basic care (fillings, simple extractions, and often root canals) is shared after your deductible. Major care (crowns, bridges, dentures, and implants when included) usually has the highest out-of-pocket share and counts most heavily against your annual maximum. Your exact levels depend on your employer’s design.
Services Ameritas members ask about most
- Dental implants — Implant coverage differs more than almost any other benefit, so a predetermination is worth requesting first.
- Dentures and partials — Dentures usually fall under major services and can have replacement-frequency rules.
- Cleanings and exams — Routine exams and cleanings are typically the most fully covered part of a plan, subject to frequency limits.
- Tooth and wisdom tooth extractions
- Root canal treatment
- Same-day emergency care

We send claims to Ameritas electronically with supporting X-rays. If your group plan includes a rollover feature, staying on top of your preventive visits can help unused benefits carry forward. We’ll note your available maximum each time we verify.
