What Are Type 3 Dental Services?

June 16, 2025

Type 3 dental services often called major restorative services include more complex procedures that go beyond routine care. These services are typically needed to repair or replace damaged teeth and may involve crowns, bridges, dentures, and sometimes root canals.

Unlike Type 1 (preventive) and Type 2 (basic) services, Type 3 treatments are usually more involved and more expensive, which means insurance coverage may vary. Many dental plans cover a percentage of these costs, but patients are often responsible for a portion through copays or deductibles.


At Schwimmer Dental, we offer a full range of major dental services in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ with personalized care and flexible payment options. Whether you need to restore function, improve your smile, or both, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
