If you\u2019re like one-third of adults, you probably haven\u2019t been to your dental office within the last 12 months. Despite having dental insurance, many people believe it\u2019s still too expensive to visit their dentist unless it\u2019s an emergency, but this couldn\u2019t be further from the truth. Your coverage allows you to get the services you need without breaking the bank; however, if you don\u2019t hurry, you\u2019re going to lose the opportunity. At the end of the year, your dental benefits will expire.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Invest in a Healthy Smile <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, your dentist can preserve your teeth for longer than\never using the latest innovations in dentistry. You have access to these\ninvaluable services for affordable rates using your dental insurance. You\u2019ll\ninvest in a healthy smile that can last for a lifetime by visiting your dentist\nregularly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Routine care allows your dentist in Norwood to keep your smile\nhealthy to prevent needing a costly treatment later. In fact, every $1 spent on\nprevention can reduce your restorative dentistry costs by as much as $50. Your\ndental insurance allows you to see your dentist 1-2 times per year for only a\nsmall co-payment. By paying your monthly premiums, most insurance companies\ncover preventive appointments 100%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even with the best care, a complication can arise. It doesn\u2019t\nneed to go untreated because your insurance may pay as much as 80% of its cost.\nPaying your annual deductible gives you an allowance to use throughout the year\nfor restorative treatments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, at the end of the calendar year, your benefits\nwill expire. You aren\u2019t reimbursed for any unused coverage, premiums, or deductible.\nThey also won\u2019t carry over into the new year. If you don\u2019t use your benefits\nnow, you will lose them for good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maximize Your Dental Benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On average, less than 3% of Americans meet or exceed their\nannual allowance. You can maximize your benefits by choosing an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centraldentalnorwood.com\/new-patients.html\">in-network\ndentist.<\/a> They have pre-negotiated rates with the insurance carrier to\nreduce the cost of common services. You can still use your insurance at any\ndentist who accepts it, but if they are out-of-network you\u2019ll need to pay the\ndifference between their fees and what\u2019s covered under your insurance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Schedule an Appointment Today!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019ve been putting off a treatment or haven\u2019t made the\ntime for a cleaning and checkup, don\u2019t wait until it\u2019s too late. Your dentist\nworks on your behalf with your insurance company to keep your dental care\naffordable. They\u2019ll maximize your coverage before it expires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About Central Dental Associates<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Central Dental Associates is committed to providing modern care\nfor affordable rates.
