Receive expert care with an Aetna oral surgeon in Chicago, IL—offering advanced, effective treatments that restore your oral health while working with your insurance and schedule.
When you need oral surgery, finding a skilled surgeon in Chicago who accepts your Aetna insurance can significantly impact both your treatment experience and your out-of-pocket costs. Many oral surgery practices either don’t accept Aetna or are out-of-network providers, leaving patients with higher expenses and more administrative hassles. At Sonrisa Family Dental, we’re proud to be an in-network provider with Aetna for oral surgery services, helping patients receive necessary care while maximizing their insurance benefits.
Understanding Aetna coverage for oral surgery procedures can feel complex, with questions about which procedures are covered, whether pre-authorization is required, and what your financial responsibility will be. Our experienced administrative team works directly with Aetna to verify your benefits, obtain necessary authorizations, and ensure you receive optimal coverage for your oral surgery needs. Learn more about our comprehensive financing and insurance options.
Aetna typically covers medically necessary oral surgery procedures, though coverage levels and requirements vary based on your specific plan type. Wisdom teeth removal is one of the most commonly covered oral surgery procedures, especially when the wisdom teeth are impacted, causing pain, or creating risk for future dental problems. Coverage usually falls under your dental benefits as a major procedure.
Tooth extractions for damaged or infected teeth are generally covered when medically necessary. Simple extractions may receive higher coverage percentages than surgical extractions, which require more complex techniques. Your specific plan determines the exact coverage level, deductible, and coinsurance amounts that apply to extractions.
Dental implant coverage varies significantly among Aetna plans. While some policies exclude implants as cosmetic or elective, others provide coverage when implants are deemed medically necessary following trauma, congenital defects, or specific medical conditions. Our team will verify your individual implant benefits and help you understand coverage options and costs.
Treatment of oral infections, including abscess drainage and removal of infected tissue, is typically covered as medically necessary care. These procedures often receive favorable coverage since they address acute health concerns and prevent serious complications. Prompt treatment of oral infections is essential for protecting your overall health.
Bone grafting procedures may be covered when necessary to preserve jaw structure after tooth extraction or to prepare for dental implant placement. Coverage depends on medical necessity and your specific plan benefits. We’ll work with Aetna to determine your coverage for bone grafting when this procedure is recommended.
Our skilled oral surgery team provides a full range of surgical procedures to address various oral health needs. Wisdom teeth removal helps patients avoid complications from impacted or problematic third molars. We use advanced techniques and appropriate sedation options to ensure comfortable, efficient treatment with optimal healing.
Tooth extractions address severely compromised teeth that cannot be saved through other treatments. Whether due to advanced decay, severe periodontal disease, or traumatic damage, removing damaged teeth may be necessary to protect your oral health and prevent infection from spreading to surrounding tissues.
Dental implants offer a permanent solution for missing teeth, providing superior stability and function compared to traditional dentures or bridges. Our experienced team guides you through the entire implant process, from initial consultation and placement through final restoration, ensuring successful long-term results.
Treatment of impacted canines helps guide these important teeth into their proper position when they fail to erupt naturally. This procedure is often necessary for adolescents and young adults to prevent complications and ensure proper dental development and alignment.
Bone grafting procedures preserve or rebuild jawbone structure when necessary for dental implants or following tooth extraction. We use proven techniques and quality materials to promote successful bone regeneration and integration.

We understand oral surgery can cause anxiety for many patients. That’s why we offer various sedation options to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. IV sedation, also known as twilight sedation or sleep dentistry, allows you to remain deeply relaxed and comfortable during more complex surgical procedures while our team works efficiently.
Aetna coverage for sedation depends on medical necessity and your specific plan structure. Some procedures may qualify for sedation coverage when documented as medically necessary due to complexity, duration, or patient anxiety. Our team will verify your sedation benefits and discuss appropriate options during your consultation.
Local anesthesia is used for all oral surgery procedures to numb the surgical area completely and prevent pain during treatment. For patients with dental anxiety or those undergoing extensive procedures, combining local anesthesia with IV sedation provides optimal comfort and allows our surgeons to complete necessary work efficiently in a single visit.
Choosing an in-network Aetna oral surgeon provides significant financial advantages. In-network providers have established fee schedules with Aetna, resulting in lower contracted rates for oral surgery services. These negotiated fees can mean substantial savings compared to out-of-network providers who may charge higher amounts.
Claims submission and processing are more straightforward with in-network providers. We submit claims directly to Aetna and receive payment according to your plan benefits, reducing paperwork and administrative burdens for you. This direct relationship typically results in faster claim resolution and fewer coverage disputes or delays.
Pre-authorization requirements are easier to navigate with in-network providers familiar with Aetna’s protocols and documentation requirements. Our experienced staff handles the authorization process, ensuring necessary approvals are obtained before your procedure to prevent unexpected coverage denials or payment issues.
Even with Aetna coverage, you’ll likely have some out-of-pocket costs for oral surgery. Your financial responsibility typically includes any applicable deductible, your coinsurance percentage (often 20% for major procedures), and any amounts exceeding your annual maximum benefit if applicable to your procedure.
We provide detailed cost estimates before your procedure, clearly explaining your Aetna coverage and expected out-of-pocket expenses. This financial transparency allows you to make informed decisions and plan appropriately. Many patients appreciate knowing their costs upfront rather than facing surprises after treatment.
For costs not covered by insurance, we offer flexible payment plans that make necessary oral surgery accessible. We also accept CareCredit and Sunbit, which provide healthcare financing with various terms and promotional interest offers to help manage treatment costs.
While we’re in-network with Aetna, we also accept most other major PPO insurance plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, United Healthcare, Delta Dental, MetLife, Guardian, and Humana. This broad network participation ensures family members with different insurance carriers can all receive care at our practice.
We also accept Medicaid and Medicare for oral surgery procedures, demonstrating our commitment to accessible care for all patients. For those without insurance, our Open Dental Discount Membership program offers substantial savings on oral surgery and other dental services.
