While teledentistry is a good option for initial exams and consultations, not all dental conditions are suitable for review through the teledentistry platform.
We recommend visiting your dentist in person twice a year for routine cleanings and check-ups. Preventive care is the best way to save money long-term, and your dental insurance generally covers these visits. Check your dental insurance policy to confirm coverage.
DigiBite dentists provide their best professional opinion based on the oral health questionnaire, observations from the virtual consultations and additional documents and photos. However, in some cases, your DigiBite dentist may recommend a more thorough exam, x-rays, or a treatment program.
Your member dental plan policy will dictate your coverage. Any teledentistry services provided will count toward applicable benefit frequency limitations. Any applicable coverage from your dental plan will already be credited in the DigiBite app. Please refer to your dental plan policy for details regarding plan deductibles, annual maximum limits, copayments and frequency limits for services rendered. A payment may be required to schedule your consult and receive a report. If a payment is required, no claim will need to be submitted to Dominion.
