Featured Dental Procedure term:
Abutment: The teeth on either side of a missing tooth. Abutments are the part of the bridge used to support the replacement of the missing teeth (pontics). Featured Dental Benefit term:
Point of Service: arrangements in which patients with a managed care dental plan have the option of seeking treatment from an "out-of-network" provider. The reimbursement for the patient is usually based on a low table of allowances, with significantly reduced benefits than if the patient had selected an "in-network" provider.
