Is this bill amount normal or does my health/dental insurance just suck?

I live in Kentucky and just went to see the dentist for the first time in a while. I have Aetna Dental Administrators from my workplace insurance plan at my wagecuck retail job.

I anticipated being billed, but didn't think it would amount to almost $268.00. $95.00 for comprehensive oral evaluation (Est. Insurance $95.00), $105.00 for Adult Prophylaxis (Est. Insurance $105.00), and $68.00 for 4 Bite-wing X-rays (Est. Insurance $68.00).

At the bottom of my bill, directly below these aforementioned chargers, it does say that the insurance claims were submitted, so i figured they'd covered some of it. But judging by the "Est. Insurance" jargon at the end of the charges, can i presume they're only covering half of it?

I can't seem to access my dental plan at the moment because of how impossibly difficult it is to navigate the Aetna website or log in with my ID card, so I'm not sure if half is what the plan covers or what. Even so, is that $268.00 pricetag even average, or does my dental insurance just suck? I'm more inclined to believe the latter because I work a retail job for an hourly wage.
