What Our Team Handles So You Don’t Have To
Dental insurance for children has its own layer of complexity — frequency rules for cleanings and X-rays, age-based coverage limitations, coordination between two parents’ plans when a child is covered under both. Most parents do not want to become experts in dental billing just to get their kid’s teeth cleaned. That is what our front office is for.
When you bring your child to Dino Kids Dental, our team:
- Verifies your child’s dental insurance benefits before the appointment so you know what to expect before you arrive
- Explains coverage in plain language — what is covered, what has a frequency limitation, what falls under preventive versus basic versus major treatment categories
- Files claims for both primary and secondary insurance when your child is covered under more than one plan
- Provides a cost estimate before treatment is scheduled, broken down by expected insurance payment and your estimated out-of-pocket amount
- Files out-of-network courtesy claims for families whose plans we do not participate with directly, to help recover any reimbursement your plan allows
Insurance estimates are not guarantees — final payment is determined by your carrier after claim processing. But our team will give you the clearest and most accurate picture available before anything is booked.
In-Network and Out-of-Network Families Are Both Welcome
Being in network means Dino Kids Dental has agreed to the contracted rates your insurance plan sets for covered services. For in-network families, this typically means lower out-of-pocket costs because the negotiated rate reduces what you owe after the plan pays its portion.
If your child’s plan is out of network at your nearest Dino Kids Dental location, that does not mean your child cannot be seen here. Many families with out-of-network plans still have partial benefits available that reduce the cost of care. Our team files out-of-network claims as a courtesy, and we will give you an honest estimate of what to expect before treatment begins.
One thing worth understanding: participating with a major insurance carrier does not automatically mean every plan that carrier offers is in network at every location. Employer-sponsored plans, managed care variations, and different plan tiers within the same company can each have different network rules. The only reliable way to confirm your child’s specific coverage is a benefits verification call before the appointment — which our team handles for you.

Medicaid Accepted at Dino Kids Dental of Raleigh
Dino Kids Dental of Raleigh accepts Medicaid for pediatric dental care. For many families in Wake County, Medicaid is the primary — and sometimes only — dental coverage available for their children. Finding a pediatric dentist that accepts Medicaid, takes new patients, and actually has availability can feel harder than it should be. We want to remove that barrier.
If your child is covered under Medicaid and you are looking for a pediatric dentist in Raleigh, call our office at (919) 341-2257 to confirm your specific Medicaid plan and schedule a first appointment. Medicaid coverage for children typically includes preventive care, X-rays, cleanings, and restorative treatment. Our team will explain exactly what your child’s plan covers before the visit.
Note that Medicaid is currently accepted at the Raleigh location only. The Fayetteville location does not accept Medicaid at this time. Families in the Fayetteville area should contact that office directly to discuss available options.
A Few Things Worth Knowing About Children’s Dental Insurance
Pediatric dental insurance has some specific rules that differ from adult coverage. Knowing these before the appointment helps avoid surprises.
Frequency limitations. Most plans cover two preventive visits per year — cleanings and exams at six-month intervals. X-rays often have their own frequency rules: bitewing X-rays are typically covered once every year or two depending on the plan, and a full mouth series has a longer interval. If your child has had a recent set of X-rays at another office, our team can often use those rather than repeating them, which avoids using up your plan’s benefit allowance unnecessarily.
Dual coverage coordination. If your child is covered under both parents’ insurance plans, benefits can be coordinated so that one plan pays primary and the other pays secondary, potentially covering a larger portion of the total cost. Our team handles this coordination and files both claims.
Age limits on coverage. Many dental plans have age cutoffs for certain pediatric benefits — sealants, for example, are commonly covered through age 13 or 14 on standard plans. We will check your plan’s age-based coverage rules and factor them into any treatment planning conversation.
Waiting periods. Some plans have waiting periods before major restorative treatment is covered. Preventive care — exams, cleanings, X-rays — is typically covered immediately. If your child needs restorative work, we will check for waiting periods during benefits verification so there are no surprises.
