MetLife Coverage Availability & Fees

MetLife offers several different dental plans, each of which has its own set of fees, benefits, and stipulations. We encourage you to take a look at your unique plan to find out how it may apply in various situations.

In the meantime, here are some general notes about how MetLife coverage often works:

  • Preventive care, such as routine cleanings and exams, is usually 100% covered.
  • Minor procedures, like fillings, are often 80% covered.
  • Major services, like crowns, dentures, and some types of oral surgery, may be around 50% covered.

Frenectomies (the standard treatment for lip and tongue ties) may be classified as a minor or major service, so 50 – 80% of the cost may be covered. Also, keep in mind that you may have to get preauthorization from MetLife before your policy will cover the treatment.

Because we are in-network with MetLife, our team has a contract that manages fees. You will likely pay less out-of-pocket when you visit us rather than an out-of-network practice. Plus, since we are used to working with MetLife, you can rely on us to help you successfully navigate your benefits.
