Most Blue Shield Dental plans cover preventive services at 100% — including routine exams, digital x-rays, and professional cleanings twice a year. Staying current on preventive visits is the best way to avoid larger dental expenses down the road.

Restorative Dentistry

Restorative services like fillings, dental crowns ($899 at Madison Square Dental), and root canal therapy ($799) are typically covered at 50–80% after your deductible, depending on your specific plan. Coverage varies, so call us to confirm your benefits before scheduling.

Tooth Replacement Options

Many Blue Shield Dental plans offer partial coverage for tooth replacement options. Complete dentures start at $999 and dental implants are $2,449 at our Arlington office. Our team can help you understand which replacement options your plan may contribute toward.
