01Aetna dental insurance
What your Aetna dental plan typically covers
Aetna PPO plans follow a tiered model, and preventive care is where your benefits shine brightest. Routine cleanings, exams and X-rays are usually covered at or near 100% with an in-network provider — so the twice-yearly visits that protect your smile often cost you very little.
Basic services such as fillings and simple extractions are commonly covered in the range of 70 to 80 percent after your deductible. Major work — crowns, bridges and root canals — is typically covered at a lower percentage, and your annual maximum comes into play. Because every Aetna plan depends on what your employer selected or what you enrolled in directly, we confirm your specific details before your visit.
- Preventive: cleanings, exams and X-rays — often at or near 100%

Why being an in-network Aetna dentist matters
Boulevard Dental holds a direct contract with Aetna that sets agreed-upon rates for covered services. That's what keeps your costs lower than they'd be with an out-of-network office.
In practical terms, you pay your portion — your copay, coinsurance or deductible — and Aetna covers the rest up to your annual maximum. You won't be billed above what Aetna allows, so your dollars stretch further and your benefits work exactly the way they were designed to.

How we help you make the most of your Aetna benefits
Before your appointment, we look up your plan so you arrive already knowing what to expect. We walk you through your coverage, share your estimated out-of-pocket cost and file the claim on our end. It's a low-stress process — and our team genuinely enjoys helping patients make sense of it.
If a recommended treatment goes beyond what your plan covers, we'll talk through flexible financing options with you. And if you ever find yourself without dental coverage, our in-office membership plan — $275 per year for adults and $200 for children — includes two cleanings, exams, digital X-rays and 20% off most procedures, with no deductibles or claim forms.

05Questions, answered
Aetna insurance FAQs
01Is Boulevard Dental an in-network Aetna dentist in Clearwater?
Yes. Boulevard Dental is in-network with Aetna (also known as AetnaDental), so Dr. Kopakin has a direct agreement with Aetna and your benefits apply from your very first visit. To double-check your specific plan, call us at (727) 799-4897 and we'll look it up.
02How is in-network different from out-of-network with Aetna?
An in-network dentist has agreed to set fees with Aetna, so you typically pay less out of pocket. An out-of-network dentist charges their own rates, and your plan may cover a smaller portion of them. Since we're in-network, you get more from your plan when you visit us.
03What does Aetna dental insurance usually cover?
Most Aetna plans cover preventive care — cleanings, exams and X-rays — at a high rate, sometimes fully. Fillings and other basic procedures are usually covered with a cost share, and major work like crowns or root canals is often covered at a lower rate. Your exact benefits depend on your plan, and we're happy to review them with you.
04Will I save money using my Aetna plan at an Aetna dentist in Clearwater?
Most likely. Because we're in-network with Aetna, our fees are pre-negotiated and you won't be billed above what Aetna allows. We're always upfront about what your plan covers before treatment starts, so there are no surprises.
05Is Dr. Kopakin accepting new patients with Aetna?
Absolutely. Whether you're due for a routine cleaning or need to address something specific, we'll make sure your Aetna benefits are applied correctly from day one. New patients are always welcome at Boulevard Dental.
06How do I book an appointment with my Aetna plan?
Call us at (727) 799-4897 and have your Aetna member ID handy if you can. We'll verify your coverage before your visit and answer any insurance questions right then. You can also book online whenever it's convenient.

Why patients trust their dentist in Clearwater
“I recently switched to Boulevard Dental and Dr. Kopakin. I have to say I was very pleased with the experience. The office space is very relaxing and the staff capable and friendly. Dr. Kopakin reassured me that a filling I was told was needed did, in fact, not need attention. It's very important to feel one's medical provider is competent and trustworthy. Dr. Kopakin fits that profile.”
Bill R.Verified patient “I've been going to Boulevard Dental for over 5 years, and I can honestly say it's the best dental care I've ever received. My dental hygienist is absolutely amazing—she's so gentle and calming during cleanings, which makes the whole experience stress-free. The dentist is fair and trustworthy; he only recommends what truly needs to be done and never pushes unnecessary procedures. Finding a dentist you can trust is not easy, and I'm so grateful to have found this place. Highly recommend!”
TaraVerified patient “December was my first apt with Dr. Kopakin. Rachel, my hygienist, did a fantastic job. Very thorough. It was a refreshing change to hear my teeth and gums looked great, very health with no issues. The atmosphere is relaxed and calm and very inviting. I am so happy I switched dental providers. I highly recommend Boulevard Dental on Park Street (off SR 580)…”
Susan L.Verified patient “I had a great first experience at Boulevard Dental! From the second I walked in the door, the front desk staff made me feel right at home. My hygienist Lisa was wonderful and took great care of me, frequently making sure I was not uncomfortable (and I never once was!). Dr. Clark was my dentist, and he was very knowledgeable and thorough. He answered all of my questions and then some. Looking forward to coming back in 6 months!”
