End of the year...time to use up those insurance benefits!

Can you believe we are halfway through November already, where has the time gone??  Only 42 days left in the year, which means it is time for those of you with dental insurance to take advantage of your plan's benefits! 

Most plans allow two cleanings per year at no charge to the patient.  You also have an annual maximum, usually from $1,000 to $2,000, depending on the plan, that your insurance will pay toward your dental care.  At the end of the year, if you haven't gotten any treatment or have only used a part of that, the rest of it is GONE!  It does NOT roll over to the next year. 

So if you have any work that you know you need to get done, now would be the perfect time to schedule to have it done.  November and December are filling up fast!  Even if you don't have anything that is bothering you, you can at least come in for your cleaning and check up!  We have an awesome full-time hygienist, Yoli, and its probably FREE to you, so why not?  Even if something isn't bothering you right now, it is best to catch problems while they are small and easy and less expensive to fix, before they do start bothering you, because by that time you have less options, and usually your out-of-pocket cost is going to be a little more.  Prevention really is the best medicine!

If you have any questions about your insurance or what benefits you have with your insurance, or what is covered with your insurance, please feel free to give us a call!  We can call your insurance company and get a breakdown of what is covered and then let you now.  915-778-4681
