Which of the following is true about the major treatment in indemnity dental plans?

• A. Braces
• B. Crowns
• C. Root canal
• D. Dentures

Answer: (D)

In indemnity dental plans, major services are the high-cost, restorative or prosthetic procedures that replace or restore many teeth and function. They typically involve more extensive work and higher costs than routine or basic services.

Braces fall under orthodontic care, which is usually separate or excluded from standard major coverage. Root canals are an endodontic procedure often categorized as basic rather than major in many plans. Dentures, on the other hand, are a classic major service because they replace missing teeth with a prosthetic appliance and require significant work, fitting, and adjustment, reflecting their status as a major, prosthetic treatment. That prosthetic replacement emphasis makes dentures the best example of major treatment among the options.
