Dental Services FAQs


I received my member ID card. Can I use my Careington Dental Savings Plan on dental care right away?

Your Careington Dental Savings Plan dental care discounts are available on the date you chose when you signed up. Once that date has been reached, you can begin saving on dental care.

New Careington dental care discounts can be accessed when your chosen "Start Date" is reached.

How do I verify if a dentist is in my network?

Use our online "Provider Search" tool and call the dental provider directly to confirm. Always verify network status when setting your appointment to ensure you receive your dental discounts.

Verifying network participation through the Careington provider search tool and calling the dental office ensures guaranteed dental savings at your appointment.

What should I say when calling a dentist to confirm their participation?

Ask the office, "Do you currently participate in the "Network Name" printed on my Careington member ID card?" Providing the specific network name ensures the staff identifies your plan correctly, as "Careington" is the plan administrator, not the network.

Confirming the specific network name with dental offices ensures accurate participation verification for members.

How do I know what dental services will cost?

You can easily look up your costs online before you go by following these quick steps:

Careington Dental Savings Plans make pricing transparent by letting you view procedure fees upfront to help you know what you'll pay at the dentist's office.

Can I change dentists?

You can change dental providers at any time, and household members can select their own providers. Remember, non-participating providers are not obligated to honor the plan's discounted fee schedule, so verify the new dentist is on your provider list.

Savings are only guaranteed when visiting participating dentists within the Careington network.

What if I can't find a dental provider close to home?

Try expanding your search radius in our online directory or use the "Nominate a Dentist" feature. We are consistently growing our network and would love to reach out to your favorite local office.

The Careington provider search and nomination tools help members find or add local participating dentists.

If I'm referred to a nonparticipating dental specialist, do I still get a discount?

Discounts only apply to providers within the participating network. If you're referred to a specialist, check our directory first to find a participating Careington professional who can honor your plan's rates.

Savings plan discounts are exclusive to participating dentists and dental specialists within the designated Careington network.
