While most people know that good oral health is linked to overall well-being, there is also a connection with health insurance. According to a recent study, the percentage of Americans who visited both a medical and dental provider in the past year (47 percent) was more than double that of those who had health insurance but lacked dental coverage (22 percent).1

At Wells Family Dental, we believe that quality dental care should be convenient, accessible, and affordable for every patient. That is why we are proud to be a dentist that accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, offering flexible, high-quality care to patients throughout the Triangle area.

Why Choose a Dentist in Raleigh NC That Accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield?

If you have Blue Cross Blue Shield dental insurance, you already have access to one of the most accepted and trusted dental coverage networks in the nation. They also offer a wide variety of dental plans, from value policies with low premiums to those with more comprehensive coverage.2 Regardless of the plan you select, you can expect to have access to the highest level of possible care with minimal out-of-pocket costs.

Some of the key benefits of using your Blue Cross Blue Shield dental plan at our office include:

  • Lower out-of-pocket costs: In-network dental care often means lower copays and negotiated service fees, helping you save significantly on both preventive and major dental work.
  • Comprehensive coverage options: Blue Cross Blue Shield plans almost always include preventive services such as regular cleanings, X-rays, and fluoride treatments—helping you maintain great oral health year-round.
  • Simplified insurance coordination: As a dentist that accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, we handle all claim submissions and insurance paperwork, allowing you to focus on your health, not the fine print.
  • More flexibility for your family’s needs: Whether you need routine care, cosmetic improvements, or restorative treatments, your Blue Cross Blue Shield plan can cover a portion (sometimes most) of the cost.

In addition, Blue Cross Blue Shield has a strong reputation for charitable giving. They have partnered with the Duke Endowment to improve oral health care programs in North Carolina that open doors for those who struggle to see a dentist.3

The Importance of Preventive Dental Care

Preventive dental care is the foundation of long-term oral health. Regular cleanings and checkups not only keep your teeth looking great but also help identify potential issues before they become serious.

Good oral health is also inextricably linked to overall health. In fact, it can be central to chronic disease prevention.4

As trusted Raleigh dentists, we emphasize education, early detection, and preventive habits. When combined with consistent insurance-supported visits, these efforts help reduce the need for more invasive and expensive treatments later on.
