United Concordia Dentist in Auburn, ME
Federal dental benefits can feel like a second job to figure out — but when your dentist is already in-network with United Concordia, a lot of that work disappears before you ever sit down in the chair. Dr. Eric Kessler and the team at Auburn Dentures & Implants work directly with United Concordia, which means the contracted rates are already in place and your out-of-pocket costs stay as low as your plan allows.
When you come in, you don't need to show up with a folder of paperwork or a rehearsed explanation of your coverage. You just let us know you have United Concordia, and we'll take it from there. We'll verify your benefits, walk you through what's covered for the visit, and handle the claim filing on your behalf. The focus stays where it belongs — on your care.
Auburn Dentures & Implants is right on Center Street, and we're actively welcoming new patients. Whether you're a federal employee, a retiree, or a family member covered under the plan, we'd love to get you scheduled. Request an appointment online or give us a call.
What Does Your United Concordia Plan Cover?
United Concordia's federal employee dental plans are generally structured around three tiers of coverage. Preventive care — things like cleanings, exams, and X-rays — is typically covered at the highest level, often with little to no out-of-pocket cost when you see an in-network provider. The idea behind that is simple: catching small problems early costs everyone less in the long run.
Basic restorative work like fillings usually falls into a mid-tier coverage category, where your plan pays a significant portion and you cover the rest. Major services — crowns, dentures, implant-related procedures — are typically covered at a lower percentage, though the exact amount depends on your specific plan and whether you've met your annual deductible. Most United Concordia federal plans also include an annual maximum benefit, so it's worth knowing where you stand before scheduling larger procedures. Before your visit, we'll do a benefits check so you have a realistic picture of what to expect. Coverage details can vary, and we'd rather you walk in informed than be surprised at checkout.
Auburn Dentures & Implants Is an In-Network United Concordia Provider
Being in-network with United Concordia means Dr. Kessler has a direct contract with the plan. That contract sets the rates — so instead of paying full price and hoping for a reimbursement later, you're automatically getting the reduced contracted fee at the time of your visit. Your insurance pays its share, and you pay yours, based on those pre-negotiated rates.
For federal employees and their families, that's a real, tangible difference at checkout. You're not overpaying and waiting. You're not navigating out-of-network claim forms. You're just using the benefit you've earned, the way it was designed to work. It's one of the clearest advantages of choosing an in-network provider.
Why Auburn Federal Employees Choose Dr. Kessler
Dr. Eric Kessler built Auburn Dentures & Implants around the kind of care where you actually leave understanding what happened and what comes next. That matters especially for patients using federal benefits — because when your plan has a structure to it, it helps to have a team that knows how to work within it clearly and honestly.
The practice specializes in dentures and implants, which means if your coverage includes major restorative work, you're in good hands. But Dr. Kessler also handles general dental care, and a lot of Auburn-area federal workers and retirees come here simply because the experience feels unhurried. Questions get real answers. The team is easy to reach during the week, with hours Monday through Friday. To get started, call us at +12074016010 or book online — we're glad to have you.
