Receive expert care with a Blue Cross Blue Shield oral surgeon in Chicago, IL—offering advanced, effective treatments that restore your oral health while working seamlessly with your insurance and schedule.
Finding an oral surgeon in Chicago who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance and provides quality care shouldn’t be a challenge. When you need oral surgery, whether for wisdom teeth removal, dental implants, or treatment of an oral infection, working with an in-network provider can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs while ensuring you receive excellent care. At Sonrisa Family Dental, we’re proud to be an in-network provider with Blue Cross Blue Shield for oral surgery services.
Navigating insurance coverage for oral surgery can feel complicated, with questions about pre-authorizations, covered procedures, and cost-sharing responsibilities. Our experienced team works directly with BCBS to verify your benefits, obtain necessary authorizations, and maximize your insurance coverage for oral surgery procedures. Learn more about our comprehensive financing and insurance options.
Blue Cross Blue Shield typically covers medically necessary oral surgery procedures under your dental or medical benefits, depending on the specific procedure and your plan structure. Wisdom teeth removal is commonly covered when the teeth are impacted, causing pain, or creating risk for future problems. Coverage usually falls under your dental benefits and is subject to your annual maximum and any applicable deductibles.
Tooth extractions for damaged or infected teeth are generally covered as basic or major dental procedures, depending on the complexity. Simple extractions may be covered at a higher percentage than surgical extractions, which require more extensive surgical techniques. Your specific coverage depends on your individual plan details.
Dental implant coverage varies significantly among Blue Cross Blue Shield plans. While some plans exclude implants entirely, others provide coverage when the implant is deemed medically necessary following trauma or congenital conditions. Our team will verify your specific implant benefits and help you understand your coverage and costs.
Treatment of oral infections, including abscess drainage and removal of infected tissue, is typically covered as a necessary procedure to address acute health concerns. These treatments often receive favorable coverage since they address immediate medical needs rather than elective procedures.
Our oral surgery team provides comprehensive surgical services to address various oral health needs. Wisdom teeth removal is one of our most frequently performed procedures, helping patients avoid complications from impacted or problematic third molars. We use modern techniques and sedation options to ensure comfortable, efficient treatment.
Tooth extractions address severely damaged teeth that cannot be saved through restorative treatments. Whether due to advanced decay, periodontal disease, or trauma, removing compromised teeth may be necessary to protect your overall oral health and prevent the spread of infection to surrounding tissues.
Dental implants provide a permanent solution for missing teeth, offering superior stability and function compared to traditional dentures or bridges. Our team has extensive experience placing implants and can guide you through the process from initial consultation through final restoration.
Bone grafting procedures may be recommended to preserve jaw structure after tooth extraction or to prepare the jawbone for dental implant placement. We’ll discuss whether bone grafting is appropriate for your situation and explain how your Blue Cross Blue Shield coverage applies to this procedure.
Treatment of impacted canines helps guide these important teeth into 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 alignment.

We offer various sedation options to ensure your comfort during oral surgery procedures. IV sedation, also known as twilight sedation or sleep dentistry, allows you to remain deeply relaxed throughout more complex procedures while our surgical team works efficiently. You’ll have little to no memory of the procedure and wake feeling as though only minutes have passed.
Blue Cross Blue Shield coverage for sedation depends on medical necessity and your specific plan benefits. Our team will verify your sedation coverage and discuss options during your consultation. We prioritize patient safety and comfort, using modern sedation techniques administered by trained professionals who monitor you throughout the procedure.
Local anesthesia is used for all oral surgery procedures to numb the treatment area and prevent pain. For patients with dental anxiety or those undergoing extensive treatment, combining local anesthesia with IV sedation provides optimal comfort and allows our surgeons to complete necessary work efficiently in a single appointment.
Working with an in-network Blue Cross Blue Shield oral surgeon provides significant advantages. In-network providers have negotiated fee schedules with BCBS, resulting in lower allowed amounts and reduced out-of-pocket costs for you. These contracted rates can mean substantial savings compared to out-of-network providers who may charge higher fees.
Claims processing is more straightforward when you choose an in-network provider. We submit claims directly to Blue Cross Blue Shield and receive payment according to your plan benefits, reducing paperwork and administrative hassles for you. This direct billing relationship typically means faster claim resolution and fewer coverage disputes.
Pre-authorization requirements are easier to navigate with in-network providers who understand BCBS protocols and documentation requirements. Our experienced staff handles the authorization process, ensuring necessary approvals are obtained before your procedure to prevent unexpected coverage denials.
Even with Blue Cross Blue Shield 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 after your plan pays 80%), and any amounts exceeding your annual maximum benefit if applicable.
We provide detailed cost estimates before your procedure, clearly explaining your insurance coverage and expected out-of-pocket expenses. This transparency allows you to make informed decisions and plan accordingly. Many patients appreciate knowing their financial responsibility upfront rather than facing surprises after treatment.
For costs not covered by insurance, we offer flexible payment plans and accept CareCredit and Sunbit, which provide healthcare financing with various terms and promotional offers. These options help make necessary oral surgery accessible regardless of your immediate financial situation.
While we’re in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, we also accept most other major PPO insurance plans, including Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Delta Dental, MetLife, Guardian, and Humana. This flexibility 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 significant savings on oral surgery and other dental services.
