MetLife Dentist in Midtown Manhattan
Dentist on Madison accepts MetLife dental insurance, including MetLife PPO plans. Our office is on Madison Avenue at East 40th Street in Midtown Manhattan, a short walk from Grand Central Terminal, with evening and Sunday hours.
MetLife is on the list of insurance carriers we accept. Benefits depend on the specific MetLife plan you have through your employer or on your own, so please check your plan before treatment.
Dental care for MetLife members
At our office, patients with MetLife coverage can receive:
- checkups and professional cleanings
- tooth-colored fillings to treat tooth decay and cavities
- root canal treatment for a badly damaged or infected tooth, which can relieve pain and keep the natural tooth
- dental crowns to protect and strengthen a weak or damaged tooth
- dental bridges to replace one or more missing teeth, supported by natural teeth or implants
- teeth whitening to lift stains and discoloration
How much MetLife pays toward each treatment is set by your plan. Preventive care is usually covered at a higher level than restorative or major care, and cosmetic treatment is often excluded.
Checking your MetLife benefits
Call the number on your MetLife dental ID card or sign in to your MetLife account, and ask:
- whether Dentist on Madison is in your plan's network
- whether the treatment you need is covered, and at what percentage
- how much of your deductible and annual maximum remains this year
- whether a waiting period or frequency limit applies
Then call our office with your plan name and the treatment you're considering, and ask us about fees. Check Your Insurance on our website shows whether MetLife is on our list. It isn't an eligibility check and doesn't guarantee payment.
Common questions about MetLife
Does MetLife cover root canals and crowns?
Many dental plans cover root canal treatment and crowns as basic or major care, often at a lower percentage than checkups and sometimes after a waiting period. Your MetLife plan documents or member services can tell you exactly what applies.
What if Dentist on Madison is out of network for my MetLife plan?
Some plans, especially PPO plans, still pay part of the cost when you see a dentist outside their network, usually at a lower level, and you pay the difference. Other plans pay only for in-network care. MetLife can tell you how your plan handles it.
