Union dental benefits typically cover a wide range of preventive, restorative, and major dental services. Here is an overview of what Local 3 plans commonly cover and what we offer at our office:
Preventive Care
Most union plans cover two dental cleanings per year, routine exams, and X-rays at little to no cost. Preventive care is the best investment in your long-term oral health. See our dental checkup page.
Basic Restorative Care
Fillings, extractions, and other basic restorative procedures are covered under most plans. We use tooth-colored composite fillings for a natural look and lasting results. Visit our emergency dental care page for urgent needs.
Major Dental Work
Crowns, root canals, bridges, and dentures are commonly covered at a percentage by union plans. We help you understand and maximize your major service benefits. Learn about dental crowns and root canal treatment.
Dental Implants
Some union plans now include partial coverage for dental implants. Dr. Malakov specializes in periodontics and implant dentistry. Learn more on our dental implants page.
Periodontal Treatment
Gum disease treatment is often a covered benefit. Dr. Malakov completed a three-year specialty program in Periodontics at NYU. See our periodontics page.
Orthodontics
Many union plans include an orthodontic benefit for dependents. We offer Invisalign clear aligners as a comfortable, discreet alternative to traditional braces. Visit our Invisalign page.
Also: Workers Compensation for On-the-Job Injuries
If you sustain a dental injury while working on a job site, your workers compensation coverage applies separately from your union dental benefits. We are experienced in treating work-related dental injuries under workers comp claims. Learn more about workers comp dental care.
