What does Teamcare dental typically help pay for?
Coverage is set by your plan, so the details vary. For PPO-style dental plans, we commonly see benefits along these lines:
- Preventive care such as exams, cleanings and X-rays, often covered up to 100%
- Basic restorative care such as fillings, often around 70–80%
- Major work such as crowns, bridges, implants and root canals, often around 50%
- Cosmetic treatment, which is usually not covered
Annual maximums, deductibles, waiting periods and frequency limits all depend on your plan. We confirm yours before recommending a treatment schedule.

Not sure how your Teamcare dental plan works?
Union benefits can be organized differently from typical employer plans, and not every plan is a PPO. If you are unsure, call (469) 947-3963 before you schedule. Our coordinator will review your coverage with you. If your plan does not fit, we may still be able to help, or our in-office membership plan, with 12 months of coverage and immediate benefits, may be a good option.
