Oral Surgery – Dental Insurance or Medical Insurance?
Oral surgery often sits at the intersection of dental and medical care—which means coverage can vary depending on your procedure and your insurance plan. Below, you’ll find a list of major insurance providers we work with.
Dental Insurance
Dental insurance typically covers procedures related to:
- Tooth Extractions (especially wisdom teeth)
- Treatment of dental infections
- Pre-surgical consultations and X-rays
Medical Insurance
Medical insurance may cover oral surgery when it’s considered medically necessary, such as:
- Jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery)
- Biopsies or treatment of oral pathology
- Trauma or injury repair
- Surgical treatment of sleep apnea
- TMD procedures
Medical plans often have broader coverage but stricter documentation requirements.
Not sure which applies? Don’t worry—our team will help determine whether your procedure is covered by dental, medical, or both. We’ll work with your insurance provider to maximize your benefits and minimize surprises.
