Maximize Your Dental Coverage with Blue Cross Blue Shield
Finding a pediatric dentist in Lawrence that accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) shouldn’t be a challenge. At Long Island Pediatric Dentistry, we are dedicated to helping families maximize their dental benefits while providing a “wow” experience for every child. Whether you are coming from Inwood, Woodmere, or right here in Lawrence, we make high-quality oral healthcare both accessible and affordable.
Understanding Your Blue Cross Blue Shield Dental Benefits
Dental insurance is an investment in your child’s future. Most BCBS plans are structured to reward proactive care, which is the cornerstone of Dr. Akhavan’s philosophy. By utilizing your coverage at our Frost Lane office, you ensure that your child receives the preventive foundation necessary to avoid complex procedures later in life.
Standard BCBS Coverage Expectations
While every policy is unique, the majority of Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO plans follow a “100-80-50” structure:
- 100% Preventive Care: Routine cleanings, comprehensive oral exams, and bitewing X-rays are typically covered in full.
- 80% Basic Restorative: Services such as dental fillings and simple extractions are generally covered at 80% after your deductible is met.
- 50% Major Procedures: For more advanced needs like pediatric crowns or space maintainers, BCBS often contributes 50% of the cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Long Island Pediatric Dentistry accept all BCBS PPO plans?
Yes, we work with a wide range of Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO plans. Because BCBS has various regional networks (such as Empire BCBS or Anthem), we recommend calling us so we can verify your specific plan’s in-network or out-of-network status.
What if my BCBS plan has a deductible?
A deductible is the amount you pay out of pocket before insurance begins to cover restorative work. However, most BCBS plans waive the deductible for preventive visits, meaning your child’s regular cleanings with Dr. Akhavan may still be covered at 100%.
How do I maximize my “Use It or Lose It” benefits?
Most BCBS dental benefits reset on January 1. If your child has a pending treatment plan, scheduling it before the end of the year allows you to utilize your annual maximum instead of letting those dollars go to waste.
