Madison Square Dental at 803 Washington Dr, Arlington, TX 76011 sees patients from Arlington, Grand Prairie, Pantego, Mansfield and the rest of the Mid-Cities, Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM. Here is what to know about using your MetLife benefits with us.
MetLife Dental: The Basics
MetLife is one of the largest group dental carriers in the country. Its Preferred Dentist Program (PDP) is a PPO that is very common with large employers. MetLife also offers DHMO plans in some states and federal dental options.
MetLife PDP Plus is the network name you’ll often see. PDP plans let you see any dentist but pay the most when you use a participating one.
Network Status and Verification
Madison Square Dental’s insurance listing shows us in-network for MetLife dental PPO plans. We’ll check your PDP benefits before your visit. If your card says MetLife DHMO, please call first.
We never promise coverage: your plan decides what it pays, and we’ll show you an estimate before treatment.
Typical Coverage Categories
Like most large carriers, MetLife 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 MetLife members ask about most
- Dental implants — Implant coverage differs more than almost any other benefit, so a predetermination is worth requesting first.
- Dental crowns — Crowns are usually a major service and may be subject to a replacement rule.
- Root canal treatment — Plans classify root canals as basic or major depending on design, and we check which applies.
- Cleanings and exams
- Tooth and wisdom tooth extractions
- Same-day emergency care
