Which of the following is typically regarded as a major treatment in an indemnity dental plan?

• A. Dentures
• B. Root Canal Therapy
• C. Cleaning
• D. Braces

Answer: (A)

Indemnity dental plans categorize services into preventive, basic, and major. Major treatments are the more extensive, costly restorations or replacements. Dentures fit that category because they are a prosthetic appliance that replaces missing teeth, require fabrication, fitting, and ongoing maintenance, and involve a substantial overall cost. Cleaning is preventive and typically covered at a high rate or fully; braces are orthodontic and often not included in standard indemnity coverage; root canal therapy’s classification can vary by plan, but dentures clearly align with the major-services tier.
