Dental Benefits...Use them or lose them!

If you have dental insurance and haven't used all that you are entitled to, now is the time to think about taking advantage before it's too late. Those unused benefits don't roll over to next year so if you don't use them before December 31st, they will be gone. Here are some ways to use your benefits now and possibly save some money in the process!

• Most dental insurance allows 2 cleaning appointments per year. If you haven't used both of yours, you can schedule your next one before the end of the year. And unlike more involved procedures, cleanings are usually a little easier to schedule. 
• If you have been putting off a deep tissue cleaning or other periodontal work, now is a good time to squeeze that in too. Why not start off the new year with a healthier smile?
• Some dental or periodontal procedures require multiple visits over a period of time. If you start the process now, you can take full advantage of this year's maximum coverage and follow up in the beginning of 2019 with the completion and next year's maximum coverage. This is a great way to take a financial bite out of getting implants, implant supported dentures, crowns, or periodontal surgery. 

If you have dental coverage, don't miss the opportunity to take full advantage of your benefits. Call our office and let us help you work out a schedule in the next few weeks.
