Your in-network Sun Life dentist in Richardson
Gentle Touch Dentistry accepts Sun Life Financial dental plans and lists Sun Life among our in-network PPO dental insurance providers. We confirm your benefits before your visit, provide a cost estimate before treatment and file claims directly with Sun Life on your behalf.
Most people with Sun Life coverage receive it through work, since Sun Life provides group dental benefits to employers. As a Sun Life dentist in Richardson, we see the variety in those plans every day: two coworkers can carry the same logo on their cards and still have different deductibles, maximums and waiting periods. That is why we always check your specific plan rather than guessing.

Did your Assurant dental plan become Sun Life?
Possibly. Sun Life acquired Assurant's employee-benefits business, including dental, in 2016. As a result, some dental plans that were originally issued under Assurant are now administered by Sun Life.
If you are unsure which company handles your plan today, bring the most recent card your employer gave you, or call (469) 947-3963. Our coordinator will find the right payer so your claims go to the correct place the first time.

Ways to stretch your Sun Life benefits this year
- Book your covered cleanings and exams; many plans include two per year
- Treat small cavities early, before they need a crown or a root canal
- Ask about your remaining annual maximum before the plan year ends, since unused benefits usually reset
- Plan larger restorative work with a pre-treatment estimate
- Ask about financing if a dental implant goes beyond what your plan pays

Sun Life dentist Richardson FAQs
Is Gentle Touch Dentistry in-network with Sun Life?

I used to have Assurant dental. Can I still come here?
Sun Life acquired Assurant's employee-benefits business in 2016, so some former Assurant dental plans are now administered by Sun Life. Bring your current card and we will confirm your coverage.
Does Sun Life cover two cleanings a year?
Many group dental plans cover two preventive exams and cleanings per year, often at or near 100%. Your plan may differ, and we confirm your frequency limits ahead of time.
Will my Sun Life plan pay for an implant?
Some plans cover part of an implant as a major service, often around 50%, while others limit or exclude it. We check your benefits, and financing is available for the remaining balance.
Can I get a same-day appointment with my Sun Life coverage?
We offer same-day emergency dental care whenever possible, and we check your Sun Life benefits while we get you scheduled.
Do you file Sun Life claims for me?
Yes. We submit claims directly to Sun Life. You are responsible only for your share, such as a deductible or coinsurance, which we explain beforehand.
