Is Teeth Whitening Covered By Insurance?

🎙️ Whitening Wednesday Episode 83: Is Teeth Whitening Covered By Insurance?

📣There’s a big difference between liability insurance for your business and “is whitening covered by my dental insurance?” for patients — and most people don’t realize they’re two totally different things. This week’s episode breaks down where whitening actually stands in 2025, why patients get confused, and how wellness packages change the conversation.

00:00 – Intro: Truth or Trend: Is teeth whitening covered by insurance?
00:55 – Business vs patient insurance: Two different things entirely
01:20 – Liability insurance for whitening providers (yes, it exists ✅)
01:51 – Patient coverage: Teeth whitening is cosmetic = not covered
02:44 – The odd exception: Why some patients still “get it covered”
03:40 – Wellness packages explained: What they are and how they work
04:38 – Why RDH vs cosmetic provider doesn’t matter for wellness claims
05:29 – Spa comparison: RMT vs esthetician and how receipts are treated
06:30 – Recap + final verdict: ❌ Dental insurance = no coverage ✅ Wellness package = possible coverage, regardless of provider registration
06:50 – Final mic-drop: Whitening coverage isn’t about titles — it’s about whether your client’s plan includes wellness.
