Now that December has finally arrived, that means we’re only a few weeks away from saying goodbye to 2020! While none of us will be sad to see this year pass, that doesn’t mean we should do so without using any of our remaining 2020 dental insurance benefits. In today’s blog, your Overland Park, KS, dentist will look at how you can use your benefits and start a new year with a brighter, stronger smile.
Your Dental Insurance and Health Savings Funds
If you have dental insurance, then you have benefits available for 2020 that will expire unless used at midnight on December 31st. Likewise, if you have a health savings account, then your funds will also expire at the end of the year unless used. If you haven’t started any necessary treatments, then delaying until 2021 could mean being stuck in a waiting period for your benefits to become available to use. Instead of being caught in this period, schedule a visit now. If we find issues that need attention, we can help you understand your coverage and the costs that will be covered for your treatment plan. Care then starts, so you can begin 2021 on the road toward a healthier and more attractive smile!
A Checkup and Cleaning
The process will start with a checkup and cleaning, in which our team will take a detailed look at your smile with advanced digital technology. The procedure enables our team to identify issues like tooth decay, gingivitis, and infections in the earliest stages, so we can treat them before they out your teeth at risk. We also watch for signs of TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding), and also screen your smile for oral cancer. In the same visit, our team will also clean your teeth. The process enables our team to remove all plaque and tartar from your teeth, which lowers the risk of cavities, gum disease, bad breath, and teeth stains. We then polish your teeth thoroughly. These visits help people of all ages, from kids to adults.
A New Start for Your Smile
We have a number of treatments that repair damage and address minor oral health concerns in as little as one visit, such as our fillings and dental bonding or contouring procedures. We also have scaling and root planings, as well as lifelike restorations and even tooth replacement options for those suffering from tooth loss. We would love for you to enjoy a new start for your smile in the new year, so give us a call.
