How We Help You Use Your Benefits
Navigating dental and medical insurance for oral surgery can be confusing.

Here is what you can expect from our insurance process:
- Benefit verification prior to your appointment
- Clear explanation of your estimated out-of-pocket costs
- Coordination between dental and medical insurance when applicable
- Timely and accurate claim submission after your procedure
- Ongoing support if questions or claim issues arise

- Your medical insurance card if applicable (especially for trauma, pathology, or implant cases)
- A photo ID
- A referral from your general dentist, if one was provided
- A list of any current medications and medical history
Frequently Asked Questions About Oral Surgery Insurance
Does dental insurance cover oral surgery in Virginia Beach?
Many dental PPO plans cover a portion of common oral surgery procedures such as wisdom teeth removal, oral pathology biopsies, and tooth extractions. Coverage for dental implants and bone grafting varies by plan. Our team will verify your specific benefits before treatment so you understand your coverage clearly.
Can medical insurance cover oral surgery procedures?
Yes, in certain cases. Medical insurance may contribute to coverage for procedures related to trauma, infection, pathology, or reconstructive needs. Our team evaluates whether dual insurance billing — submitting to both dental and medical insurance — applies to your case, potentially reducing your out-of-pocket costs significantly.
Does Goodove Oral Surgery accept Medicaid or TRICARE?
Yes. We accept Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, TRICARE, and Veterans Affairs (VA) insurance programs. Please contact our office in advance to confirm covered procedures under your specific government plan.
What if my insurance is out of network?
If your insurance carrier is not on our accepted plans list, we will still work with you. We can file as an out-of-network provider for many plans, and your insurance may still reimburse a portion of eligible services. Our team will walk you through your options during your consultation.
How do I know what my dental plan covers?
The best first step is to call the member services number on the back of your insurance card before your appointment. Our team also performs a pre-authorization check on your behalf to identify covered procedures, applicable deductibles, and benefit maximums before you commit to treatment.
