Ameritas Dentist in Richardson, TX
Whether your coverage came from work or you bought it yourself, Gentle Touch Dentistry is an in-network Ameritas dentist in Richardson ready to help you use your benefits for preventive, restorative and emergency care.
Your in-network Ameritas dentist in Richardson
Gentle Touch Dentistry is in-network with Ameritas, an insurance company well known for dental coverage. As your Ameritas dentist in Richardson, we verify your benefits, share a cost estimate before treatment and file your claims, so using your plan stays simple.
Ameritas offers both individual and employer dental plans, and the two can work quite differently. Individual policies sometimes include waiting periods for bigger procedures, while employer plans follow whatever design the company chose. We sort out which rules apply to you before recommending a schedule.
New patients are always welcome, and we see children, teens and adults, so your whole family can use the same office.
How Ameritas dental coverage commonly breaks down
Percentages vary by plan. These are the ranges we see most often on PPO dental plans:
- Preventive: exams, dental cleanings and X-rays, often 100%
- Basic restorative: fillings, often 70–80%
- Major restorative: dental crowns, bridges, root canals and dental implants, often about 50%
- Cosmetic: usually not covered
Annual maximums, deductibles and frequency limits also depend on your plan, and unused benefits usually reset each plan year.

Why regular checkups stretch your benefits
Preventive care is often covered at 100%, and it is also the easiest way to avoid bigger bills. A small cavity found at a routine exam is usually a quick filling; left alone, it can grow into a problem that needs a crown or a root canal.
Our preventive dentistry visits include a thorough exam and cleaning, and they give us a chance to plan any needed care before your benefits reset. Anyone searching for an "Ameritas dentist near me" in Plano or Garland will find our Richardson office a short drive away.

Ameritas dentist in Richardson: frequently asked questions
Is Gentle Touch Dentistry in-network with Ameritas?
Yes. Ameritas is on our list of in-network PPO dental insurance providers. We verify your specific plan before treatment because benefits vary.
Do you accept individual Ameritas plans?
Ameritas offers both individual and employer dental plans. Bring your card or call us, and we will confirm your plan's benefits and any waiting periods.
Does Ameritas cover dental implants?
Some plans cover implants as a major service, often around 50%, while others limit them. We check your benefits first, and financing is available for implants.
How many cleanings does Ameritas cover each year?
Many plans cover two preventive cleanings a year, but frequency limits vary by plan. We confirm yours when we verify your coverage.
Do unused Ameritas benefits roll over?
Usually not. Most dental plans reset each plan year, so scheduling needed care before then helps you use your full benefit.
What if my Ameritas plan isn't a PPO?
Call us at (469) 947-3963. We may still be able to help, or our in-office membership plan could be an option.
Can I get a price estimate before a crown or root canal?
