Figuring out your dental insurance can feel like reading a map in a foreign language. You know you have coverage through Aetna, but finding a quality dentist who accepts your plan shouldn’t add another layer of frustration to your already busy life.
Naylor Family Dental and Implant Center proudly accepts Aetna Dental insurance as an in-network provider in Las Vegas. Dr. Naylor completed his dental education at Indiana University in 2017 and focuses on creating personalized treatment plans while maintaining partnerships with major insurance providers to help maximize your benefits.
Why Choosing an In-Network Aetna Provider Matters
When you visit an in-network dentist, your out-of-pocket costs drop significantly. Aetna negotiates rates with providers like Naylor Family Dental, so you’ll pay less for the same quality of care than if you go out-of-network. You’re already paying for dental insurance each month, so working with a provider who participates in your network helps you actually use those benefits.
The difference becomes clear when you need dental crowns or other restorative work. An in-network provider processes your claim directly with Aetna, handles the paperwork on your behalf, and you only pay your portion after insurance coverage applies. This approach eliminates surprise bills and keeps your treatment costs predictable from start to finish. Staying in-network makes a substantial difference, particularly when children require multiple procedures or when treatment plans involve significant work.
Services Covered by Aetna at Our Practice
Most Aetna dental plans cover preventive services at 100%, which includes routine cleanings, exams, and x-rays twice per year. These visits help catch problems early, which ultimately saves you money and protects your oral health. Basic procedures like dental fillings typically receive 80% coverage, while major services such as root canal therapy usually fall under 50% coverage after your deductible.
Your specific coverage depends on your individual plan. Our team reviews your benefits before treatment begins so you know exactly what to expect. We handle the insurance claim submission process, so you can focus on your treatment rather than dealing with paperwork and phone calls. This service applies to all our patients, regardless of whether you carry Aetna or another PPO plan.
Understanding Your Aetna Benefits
Dental insurance operates differently from medical insurance, and knowing these details helps you plan your care throughout the year. Your annual maximum is the total amount Aetna will pay for covered services in a calendar year, typically ranging from $1,000 to $2,000. This maximum resets each January, so unused benefits don’t roll over.
Your deductible applies to basic and major services but usually doesn’t apply to preventive care. Many patients schedule their cleanings strategically to maximize their annual benefits. If you need extensive work, like dental implants or cosmetic dentistry procedures, splitting treatment across two calendar years can help you access benefits twice. This planning approach proves particularly helpful for patients who need comprehensive smile restoration but want to minimize their investment.
Understanding pre-authorization requirements also matters. Some Aetna plans require prior approval for major procedures, and our office handles these requests on your behalf. We submit the necessary documentation, communicate with Aetna’s review team, and keep you updated throughout the process. This prevents delays in starting treatment and ensures you’re not caught off guard by coverage decisions.
Beyond Insurance: Flexible Payment Options
Some dental treatments fall outside insurance coverage or exceed your annual maximum. For these situations, Naylor Family Dental offers financing through CareCredit, Proceed Finance, and Cherry. These options let you move forward with necessary care while spreading payments over time, often with promotional interest rates that make treatment more manageable.
We also offer an in-house dental membership plan for patients seeking an alternative to traditional insurance. This plan covers preventive care and offers discounts on other services, which works particularly well for families or individuals without employer-sponsored coverage. Union workers, teachers, and casino employees in Las Vegas often find that combining their Aetna benefits with our flexible payment options provides a comprehensive solution to maintain their oral health without financial stress.
What Sets Our Practice Apart?
Las Vegas offers dozens of dental offices, but not all provide the same level of attention to detail. Our practice focuses heavily on dental implant procedures, giving patients who’ve lost teeth a permanent solution that functions like natural teeth. Implants have a 95% success rate, making them a worthwhile investment in your oral health.
We maintain a calming atmosphere where patients feel heard rather than rushed through appointments. Whether you need in-office teeth whitening to refresh your smile or more complex procedures such as oral surgery, our team takes the time to explain your options and answer your questions thoroughly. This approach stems from our commitment to treating patients with the same care we’d give our own family members.
Making the Most of Your Aetna Coverage
Timing matters when using dental insurance. Consider scheduling your preventive visits early in the year to establish a baseline for your dental health, then plan any necessary restorative work around your remaining benefits. If you’re approaching your annual maximum, our team can help you prioritize treatments and potentially schedule larger procedures for the following year when your benefits reset.
Some patients worry about switching dentists mid-year, concerned about losing benefits or facing complications with their insurance. The transition typically happens smoothly when you choose an in-network provider. We verify your coverage, obtain your dental records from your previous provider, and ensure continuity of care without gaps in your treatment timeline.
Second opinions represent another valuable benefit many Aetna plans cover. If you’ve received a treatment recommendation elsewhere and want confirmation, our office provides thorough evaluations and honest assessments. We present all available options, including both conservative and comprehensive approaches, so you can make informed decisions about your dental health.
