Investing in dental insurance and locating an in-network dentist gives you access to expert dental care to maintain your oral health. Your Blue Cross Blue Shield coverage will pay for treatment from an Absolute Dental dentist near your Nevada location.

Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dental services prioritize improving how your teeth look so you can smile with confidence. Some dental services are also preventative. For example, while porcelain veneers cover gaps and cracks, they only improve your appearance. However, dental crowns conceal damage and add an extra layer of protection because they strengthen your teeth. This means you’ll be less likely to crack or chip a crowned tooth when eating.
Cosmetic dentistry treatments offered by Absolute Dental include the following:
- Bonding
- Bridges
- Crowns
- Fillings
- Implants
- Onlays and inlays
- Teeth shaping
- Teeth whitening
Orthodontics
Orthodontists are dental specialists who use appliances to fix misaligned teeth. Orthodontic treatments available at Absolute Dental include the following:
- Ceramic braces
- Invisalign
- Invisible braces
- Metal braces
- Self-ligating braces
Orthodontists also use retainers after the realignment is complete. The retainers help to keep the teeth in their new positions.
Oral Surgery
You may need oral surgery if you’re having teeth extracted or getting implants to replace missing teeth. Oral surgeons also repair jaw injuries and cleft palates. You may also need maxillomandibular advancement surgery (MMA) if you have obstructive sleep apnea.
Pediatric/Family Dentistry
Children have unique dental needs, and it’s common for them to be nervous about visiting the dentist. Our pediatric and family dentists have special training to put children at ease so they can receive the dental care they need. Since it’s convenient for all family members to receive dental care in the same location, our family dentists treat children and adults, enabling your family to visit our offices together.
In addition to checkups and X-rays, the pediatric services we provide include the following:
- Braces
- Fillings
- Fluoride treatments
- Invisalign
- Mouth guards
- Sealants
- Teeth cleanings
- Wisdom teeth extractions
Emergency Dental Care
Emergency dental needs arise when you least expect it. Common reasons for dental emergencies include the following:
- Broken braces or other dental appliances
- Broken teeth
- Impacted wisdom teeth
There are multiple symptoms of dental emergencies, including the following:
- Bleeding gums
- Dental abscess
- Dislodged tooth
- Lost fillings
- Pain
- Partially dislodged tooth
Whether you’ve lost a tooth because of facial trauma or don’t know the reason for severe pain and bleeding gums, our dentists can provide expert emergency dental care. We’ll diagnose your condition and explain treatment options so you can get the care you need to restore your dental health.
Senior Dentistry
Seniors have specific oral health needs. At Absolute Dental, we provide senior dentistry services to those 65 and older. Age-related risk factors are considered during evaluations and treatments, ensuring seniors receive the care they need to protect their oral health.
Sleep Dentistry
Sleep dentistry services allow patients to sleep through dental procedures. This is an ideal option for those with multiple issues that must be corrected or patients who struggle with fear during dental treatments.
Teledentistry
If you’re traveling, ill, or unable to take time off work, you may not be able to visit one of our dental offices in person. Teledentristy enables you to get a dental exam online. Our dentists can determine if oral health issues require treatment and follow-up care.

FAQ
BCBS is one of the most popular insurance options in the United States. Today, over 1.7 million physicians and hospitals accept BCBS insurance plans. BCBS expanded to provide dental insurance in 1977. Absolute Dental is a Blue Cross Blue Shield dental office for adults and accepts BCBS dental plans.
Preferred provider organization (PPO) insurance plans involve companies contracting with doctors, dentists, hospitals, and other medical providers. Patients can choose professionals partnered with their insurance company or medical professionals and facilities not partnered with their insurance company. Consumers benefit because they can choose the provider or facility; however, seeking care from out-of-network providers and facilities costs more.
Health maintenance organization (HMO) insurance plans are more affordable than PPOs, but patients can only see in-network providers.
Exclusive provider organization (EPO) plans are similar to HMO plans because consumers cannot use their coverage for treatment from out-of-network providers unless it’s an emergency.
BCBS offers PPO, HMO, and EPO coverage.
Blue Cross Blue Shield has offered dental coverage since 1977. BCBS dental plans cover general, emergency, cosmetic, and orthodontic services.
Absolute Dental offers special offers that help to make affordable dental care accessible for uninsured patients. In addition to these discounts, we offer a Smile Saver plan covering all dental services, including dental exams, teeth cleanings, and X-rays.
