According to the American Dental Association, less than 43 percent of the U.S. population saw a dentist in 2021. About 50 percent of seniors and children made dental checkups a priority, while only 39 percent of adults ages 19 to 64 did.1

These concerning statistics point to questions about dental care access. While the factors that impact people regularly visiting the dentist are varied and complex, a major barrier is access to dental insurance.

At Wells Family Dental, we believe that quality dental care should be accessible to everyone. That is why we are proud to accept UnitedHealthcare dental insurance (among 10 other insurance plans), as it is one of the most widely held insurance plans in the country. We are committed to helping you get the most value from your benefits while providing exceptional dental care.

The Value of Dental Insurance

Many people underestimate the importance of dental insurance until they face an unexpected dental issue. Quality dental coverage does more than just help with costs—it encourages preventive care that can save you from painful and expensive problems down the road.2 Think of your dental insurance as a partner in maintaining not just your oral health, but your overall well-being.

UnitedHealthcare’s Comprehensive Coverage

UnitedHealthcare is a trusted name in healthcare, and their dental plans reflect their commitment to comprehensive coverage.

Their plans typically include generous coverage for preventive care, ensuring that you can maintain healthy teeth and gums without financial stress.

What sets UnitedHealthcare apart is their understanding that different people have different dental needs.
