Assurant Dentist in Richardson, TX
Gentle Touch Dentistry is an in-network Assurant dentist in Richardson, helping patients with Assurant dental plans, including plans now administered by Sun Life, understand and use their benefits.
Do you need an Assurant dentist in Richardson?
Gentle Touch Dentistry is an in-network Assurant dentist in Richardson; Assurant is on our in-network PPO provider list. Because some Assurant dental plans have moved to a new administrator, we ask patients to bring their current card so we can verify the right benefits.
Once we know which plan you have, we handle the rest: checking eligibility, giving you a cost estimate before treatment and filing your claim.
Many Assurant members first got their coverage through an employer years ago and have not looked closely at it since. A quick benefit check is a good way to find out what your plan includes today, from preventive visits to major restorative work.
Your Assurant plan may now show the Sun Life name
Assurant's employee-benefits (dental) business was acquired by Sun Life in 2016. As a result, some former Assurant dental plans are now administered by Sun Life. If your newest ID card shows Sun Life, that is normal.
The simplest step is to bring the card you currently use. If you are not sure which one that is, call (469) 947-3963 and we will help you sort it out.

Simple habits that protect your coverage
- 01
Keep your card current
Plans change hands and IDs change with them. An outdated card can delay claims, so check with us if you are unsure.

Know your limits
Annual maximums, deductibles, waiting periods and frequency limits all vary by plan. We look them up for you.
- 03
Plan before the reset
Unused benefits usually reset each plan year, so scheduling needed treatment in time helps you get full value.

Assurant dental questions
Is Gentle Touch Dentistry in-network with Assurant?
Yes. Assurant is on our list of in-network PPO dental insurance providers. We verify your specific plan before treatment.
Why does my dental card say Sun Life instead of Assurant?
Sun Life acquired Assurant's employee-benefits (dental) business in 2016, so some former Assurant dental plans are now administered by Sun Life.
Which card should I bring?
Bring the card you currently use for dental benefits. If you have more than one, bring both and we will figure out which is active.
Does my Assurant plan cover crowns?
Many plans cover crowns as a major service, often around 50% after any deductible. Coverage varies, so we provide an estimate first.
Are there waiting periods?
Some plans have waiting periods for basic or major services. They vary by plan, and we check them when we verify your benefits.
What if my plan is no longer active?
Call us at (469) 947-3963. Our in-office membership plan offers 12 months of coverage with immediate benefits for patients without insurance.
Do you file claims for Assurant patients?
Yes. Once we confirm which administrator handles your plan, we file the claim for you and explain any balance you may owe.
