Cavities happen. Fillings are covered under the basic services tier of most union plans, usually at 80 percent or better after your deductible.
Most union dental plans cover root canals under the major services category. Coverage levels vary by plan, but most funds cover a significant portion of the cost.
Crowns and bridges fall under major dental services on most union plans. We work with your fund administrator to maximize what your plan will cover before any work begins.
