01Blue Cross Blue Shield dental insurance
What Blue Cross Blue Shield dental plans typically cover
Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO plans usually follow three tiers: preventive, basic and major. Preventive care — cleanings, exams and X-rays — is typically covered at the highest level, often around 100% with an in-network provider like Boulevard Dental. Your plan wants you in regularly because catching small problems early is better for everyone.
Basic services, including fillings and simple extractions, are usually covered at a lower percentage, with your plan paying a portion and you covering the rest. Major work such as crowns, bridges or root canals falls into a third tier with a higher patient share. Most BCBS PPO plans also include an annual deductible and an annual maximum benefit; costs beyond that maximum are your responsibility.

Why an in-network BCBS dentist pays off
Our direct contract with Blue Cross Blue Shield means you don't pay full price and wait for a reimbursement. Your costs are based on pre-negotiated rates that are almost always significantly lower than out-of-network charges.
You still use the same plan, the same card and the same benefits — you simply get more from them. For Clearwater patients who want to put their coverage to real use, choosing a Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Clearwater who is in-network is the move that makes the most financial sense.
- Lower copays in most cases
- Lower overall out-of-pocket costs
- An annual maximum that stretches further

05Questions, answered
Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance FAQs
01Does Boulevard Dental accept Blue Cross Blue Shield?
Yes. We're in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and have agreed to their contracted rates, which typically keeps your out-of-pocket costs lower than at an out-of-network office. Call (727) 799-4897 to confirm your specific plan.
02Why choose an in-network Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Clearwater?
An in-network dentist has negotiated set fees with your insurer, so you pay less. Out-of-network offices can charge more, and your plan may cover a smaller portion — leaving you with a bigger bill. With Dr. Kopakin in-network, you get the most from your BCBS benefits.
03What does Blue Cross Blue Shield typically cover at the dentist?
Most BCBS plans cover preventive care — cleanings, exams and X-rays — at a high level, sometimes fully. Fillings are usually covered with a portion owed by you, and crowns or root canals typically have a different coverage level. We'll go over your exact benefits with you.
04Will I actually save money with a Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Clearwater?
In most cases, yes. Our office has agreed to reduced fees with BCBS; your insurance pays its share of those lower rates and you pay the rest — less than you'd owe out-of-network.
05What if my BCBS coverage ends?
You can keep your care on schedule with our in-office membership plan — $275 per year for adults or $200 for children — which includes two cleanings, exams, digital X-rays and 20% off most procedures, with immediate eligibility. Flexible financing is also available.
06How do I book an appointment with my BCBS plan?
Call (727) 799-4897. We'll check your Blue Cross Blue Shield benefits, answer coverage questions and find a time that works — no runaround. You can also book online anytime.

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!”
