BCBS Dental Blue is the most common employer dental plan we see in the MetroWest area — we process hundreds of these claims each year and know the plan structures inside out. One thing many BCBS members miss: your plan likely covers two separate sets of bitewing X-rays per year, not just one. If you are over 65, ask us about Dental Blue 65 supplemental coverage, which pairs with Medicare to reduce your out-of-pocket costs on procedures Medicare does not cover. We submit all claims electronically to BCBS, and most are processed within 5-7 business days.
As a patient-focused practice, we help you get the most out of your Blue Cross Blue Shield coverage for family dental care, cosmetic dentistry, and restorative treatments. Insurance can be confusing, but our team handles the paperwork, claims, and pre-determinations for you.
Most Blue Cross Blue Shield plans reset on January 1st. Any unused benefits for the year typically do not roll over. Schedule your checkup or treatment now to utilize your available coverage before it expires.
Most Blue Cross Blue Shield plans cover preventive family dental care at 80-100%. Cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening and veneers are typically not covered but may qualify for FSA/HSA funds.
* Coverage varies by specific plan. We will verify your individual benefits prior to treatment.

Our billing team files all claims on your behalf and works to maximize your annual benefits.

To get the most from your dental insurance, schedule both of your covered preventive visits (exams and cleanings) each year, most plans cover these at 100% with no out-of-pocket cost. Use your remaining annual maximum for any needed treatments before your plan resets, typically on January 1st. If you need a major procedure, consider starting treatment before your annual maximum resets and completing it in the new year to use two years of benefits. Our team at Innova Smiles provides detailed pre-treatment estimates so you know exactly what your plan covers before starting any procedure. We also help coordinate dual insurance for patients with two plans. Call (508) 481-0110 and our benefits coordinator will review your specific plan.
If your insurance does not fully cover a recommended treatment, Innova Smiles offers several affordable options. We provide flexible payment plans through CareCredit and Cherry financing with low or zero-interest options. We also offer an in-house membership plan for patients without insurance that covers preventive care and provides discounts on additional treatments.
Yes. We believe cost should never prevent you from receiving quality dental care. Innova Smiles offers interest-free and low-interest financing through CareCredit and Cherry, with flexible monthly payment options. We also have an affordable in-house membership plan that bundles preventive exams, cleanings, and X-rays at a discounted annual fee, plus reduced rates on restorative and cosmetic treatments.
Yes, if you have coverage under two dental insurance plans, for example, your own employer plan and a spouse's plan, you may be able to coordinate benefits. This is called dual coverage and can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs. Our billing team at Innova Smiles is experienced in coordinating dual insurance claims to help you maximize your combined benefits.
