Sorry maam, your insurance only covers bumpers and tires

That’s about what your dental insurance would cover if you were a car. If you had to have your car towed to a garage, and the mechanic discovered you needed a new alternator, belts, and a laundry list of other repairs, would you say, I’ll hold off for now on the battery and belts. My insurance company won’t cover those?

Relying on what insurance will cover to get through your life’s dental care is like playing the slot machines in Vegas. You might wind up a winner, with all your teeth in your senior years. More common is that people require more dentistry than insurance covers.
