Using Your Benefits Before They Expire

Do you have dental insurance? If so, then you have dental benefits that will expire at midnight on December 31st unless used. That’s money on the table! Likewise, if you have a health savings account, then you likely have cash that will also expire once the year ends. Instead of losing what you have paid for and earned, why not talk to our team? Our office staff can help you understand your benefits and what is available to use, so we can help you end your year and start a new one with a healthier smile, or on the path to one.

Your Checkup and Cleaning

We will often begin with a checkup and cleaning. During the exam portion of your visit, we will ask about your oral hygiene habits and any possible symptoms you are experiencing. We then look closely at your smile for signs of trouble, making a diagnosis with precision and accuracy using advanced digital x-rays and intraoral cameras. If we find an issue that needs attention, we can offer results with a personalized treatment plan. In the same sitting, we will also clean your teeth. The dental cleaning is a process that allows us to remove all plaque and tartar with an ultrasonic scaling device and a manual tool. This helps lower the risk of cavities and gum disease, and also fights bad breath and teeth stains!

Repairing and Restoring Your Smile

If we find a cavity, we could offer a composite resin and metal-free filling that blends with your smile. For more serious decay or an injured tooth, we can secure a custom and lifelike dental crown. Our oral appliances can help address TMJ disorder and bruxism. For people with missing teeth, we have durable and long-lasting dental prosthetics. Our team can also provide care for children, including dental sealants and fluoride treatments that can lower their risk of tooth decay.

If you have any questions about using your dental benefits before they expire, then please reach out to our team today to learn more and get started.
