Maximizing Your 2017 Dental Insurance Coverage

As the year draws to a close, you and your family likely have a lot on your to do lists, but we want to recommend you add one more thing – a trip to the dentist. If you haven’t already been to the dentist two times this year for checkups or you just want to find out more about using up any remaining annual dental insurance benefits, you still have time to schedule a consultation with your trusted dental practice before the end of your plan year. Make the most of your 2017 dental insurance benefits with a dental consultation today.

Preventive Care – We Have You Covered

The majority of dental benefit plans cover the cost of preventive appointments completely, so the easiest way to maximize the investment you make in your dental insurance is visiting the dentist twice a year. During these preventive checkups, your dentist and team will screen for warning signs of common oral health concerns like tooth decay, gum disease, TMJ dysfunction, bruxism, and oral cancer. By diagnosing these oral health issues in their earliest stages, we’re able to prevent the majority of major dental concerns before they happen. That means you’ll receive preventive treatment that is covered by insurance and reduce your risk for more advanced oral health concerns that that are covered at lower percentages by your insurance plan.

Complete Advanced Therapies & Avoid Fee Increases

Before the end of the year, finish up any treatment plans you’ve already started. It’s always best to finalize restorative dentistry services before your oral health concerns progress. When the dental benefit plan year ends, there may be fee increases and covered treatments can change, so if you’ve already gotten started, you may want to finish up your smile repair. However, if you’ve already received your plan’s maximum annual coverage, it may be better to wait until 2018 to finish up your treatment plan that way you can make the most of your plan’s annual maximum.
