Overview

The MIT Medical Dental Service emphasizes preventive care and patient education. Our services include general dentistry, oral surgery, periodontics, bleaching, and implants. For other specialties, we can refer you to dentists in the community. Children under the age of 15 are referred to local pediatric dentists.

Eligibility

Anyone who is eligible to use MIT Medical is eligible to use the Dental Service, including members of MIT Health Plans; MIT students, affiliates, and employees; employees of the Draper Laboratory and Whitehead Institute; and spouses, same-sex and opposite-sex spousal equivalents, and dependent children age 15 or older.

Coverage

As with most health plans, routine dental care isn't covered by the MIT Student Health Plan, MIT Affiliate Health Plan, or Traditional or Flexible MIT Health Plans for employees.

A limited number of special procedures, however, are covered by the Traditional and Flexible MIT Health Plans for employees, the MIT Student Extended Insurance Plan, and the MIT Affiliate Extended Insurance Plan. Please review your Summary Plan Description or our Dental Service FAQs for more information.

Payment Options

Delta Dental Insurance covers many of our dental services, subject to deductibles and copayment. For other dental insurance plans, we provide a standard claim form you can submit for reimbursement.

We also accept Master Card, Visa, Discover, and personal checks at the time of service. Alternatively, employees can ask to be billed by MIT's Accounting Office, and students can charge dental services to their Student Account statement.
