Dental insurance policies can be complex, with numerous rules and fine print that can be challenging to
understand. At HQ Temple Dentist, Dr. Pham and our experienced team work closely with various
insurance companies daily, including Principal Dental PPO insurance. Many of our patients have
coverage through Principal Dental PPO, and we are happy to assist in contacting the insurance provider
on your behalf to obtain the specific details of your policy.

Principal Dental PPO Insurance Coverage Details
Each Principal
Dental PPO insurance plan sets an annual maximum allowance for dental care expenses,
but the insurance company determines how that amount can be allocated. It's important to note that
specific treatments, particularly cosmetic measures like teeth whitening, crowns,
veneers, and purely
cosmetic bonding, may be excluded by many dental insurance carriers. Night guards and dental implants
are also commonly excluded.
Another coverage rule in some dental insurance policies is the "Missing Tooth Clause," which states that
replacing teeth lost before the insurance start date is not a covered expense. However, knowing that
not all insurance plans have this clause is reassuring.
Insurance companies also establish the frequency at which specific procedures can be performed. For
instance, a patient may be limited to two yearly dental cleanings every six months. Cavity-detecting
bitewing X-rays may be allowed only once per year.
Various options for replacing missing teeth are available, including fixed bridges, implants, partial
dentures, or complete dentures. However, specific insurance policies specify which tooth replacement
options are covered expenses and which are not.
Given the wide range of dental insurance plans available, the best way to understand your specific plan's
exclusions, limitations, and rules is to contact Principal Dental PPO Insurance directly and request
eligibility information, including a comprehensive breakdown of benefits. Dr. Pham and our staff will
happily handle this process for you before your visit.
