Emergency Dentistry
Same-day care for pain, swelling, breaks and knocked-out teeth — including a $29* emergency exam.
MetLife Dental is accepted and filed at both our Fort Worth and Haltom City offices, with your benefits verified before treatment ever begins so you know the real numbers up front.
MetLife is one of the largest dental insurers in the country, and that scale brings a wide range of plan designs. A plan sponsored through one employer can look very different from one sponsored through another, even though both carry the MetLife name. Deductibles, annual maximums, waiting periods, and the percentage paid for each category of care are all set at the employer or group level, not by MetLife alone.
Because of that variation, we have made it a standard part of our front-desk process to check your specific plan details rather than quote general percentages that might not apply to you. Our coordinators contact MetLife directly, confirm your eligibility, and review what has already been used against your annual maximum before your appointment is scheduled for anything beyond a routine visit.
That means no guessing at the front desk and no surprise balance arriving in the mail weeks later. You will know, in writing, what your plan is expected to pay, what portion falls to you, and what your options are if there is a gap between the two.
MetLife plan design varies widely from one employer group to the next, which is exactly why we check coverage and availability directly rather than relying on general assumptions. Below is a realistic picture of how the three main categories of dental care are typically treated under MetLife plans, based on patterns we see at both of our offices.
Routine exams, professional cleanings, and diagnostic X-rays are usually the most generously covered category under MetLife plans. This is also the category that saves patients the most money over time, since catching a problem early is almost always less expensive than treating it after it has progressed.
Fillings, simple extractions, and non-surgical gum treatment typically fall under basic restorative coverage. Most MetLife plans pay a partial percentage toward these services once any annual deductible has been satisfied, with the remainder due from the patient.
Crowns, bridges, dentures, and surgical procedures sit in the major services category. This is generally the lowest percentage covered on any MetLife plan, and it's also the category most likely to carry a waiting period before benefits apply, so we check this carefully before planning treatment.
Filing insurance correctly takes more than submitting a claim after the fact. Here is the process our coordinators follow at both Flossophy Dental Studio offices every time a MetLife patient books a visit beyond a routine cleaning.
Bring your MetLife member card to your first visit, or simply call ahead and give us your member ID and group number. Either way works fine, and we only need a few minutes of information to get started.
Our coordinators contact MetLife to confirm your plan is active, check your remaining annual maximum for the year, and identify any waiting periods tied to the treatment you need.
Before any treatment beyond a routine exam begins, you get an itemized estimate showing the expected MetLife payment and your portion, so there is nothing left to guess at.
Once treatment is complete, we file the claim with MetLife on your behalf. If anything needs follow-up with the insurer, our team handles that correspondence instead of leaving it to you.
A little preparation before your appointment goes a long way toward avoiding surprises. These are the details we review for every MetLife patient, and you are welcome to ask about any of them yourself before you come in.
Annual maximum used: Your plan's annual maximum and how much of it you have already used this calendar year.
Deductible status: Whether your annual deductible has already been met for the year.
Waiting periods: Any waiting period attached to major treatment such as crowns, bridges, or implants.
Frequency limits: Whether your plan limits how often cleanings and X-rays are covered within a benefit period.
Rollover rules: Whether unused benefits roll over to the next plan year or expire at year end, which matters most if you have coverage sitting unused.
Family coverage: Which family members are covered under the plan, and at what percentage for each category of care.
Filing insurance accurately and explaining it clearly takes practice. Here is what sets our approach apart at both the Fort Worth and Haltom City offices.
We confirm your eligibility, remaining annual maximum, and any waiting periods before you ever sit in the treatment chair, not after the claim is already submitted and the outcome is out of our hands.
Since most MetLife plans cover routine cleanings and exams generously, we schedule your preventive visits to make full use of that coverage before recommending anything more involved or costly.
For any treatment beyond a routine visit, you receive an itemized, written estimate showing the expected MetLife payment alongside your portion, so there is no ambiguity before you agree to treatment.
Whether you're closer to Fort Worth or Haltom City, both offices file MetLife claims directly and follow the exact same verification process, so your experience is consistent no matter which location you choose.
We submit claims to MetLife for you and manage any follow-up correspondence the insurer requires, which means you are not stuck navigating paperwork or phone calls on your own.
Our coordinators take the time to walk through what your specific plan covers in plain language, so you leave the conversation actually understanding your benefits instead of more confused than when you arrived.
Yes. Both our Fort Worth and Haltom City offices accept MetLife Dental plans and file claims directly with the insurer on your behalf, following the same verification process at each location.
Yes. We verify your specific MetLife benefits before scheduling anything beyond a routine cleaning and provide a written estimate showing the expected plan payment and your portion.
We will walk you through the gap between what the plan pays and what you owe, along with the payment options available, before any treatment begins.
On most MetLife plans, unused annual benefits do not roll over and simply expire at the end of the plan year. If you have coverage sitting unused, scheduling before the year ends is a genuinely practical reason to book.
Bring your MetLife member card if you have one. If not, simply call ahead with your member details and we will verify your benefits before you arrive.
Yes. Call (817) 720-0121 with your member information and our coordinators will check where you stand before you ever commit to an appointment.
