If so,\nyou\u2019re running out of time to use your leftover benefits before the end of\nDecember. If you\u2019ve been keeping up with the premiums, then you should take\nadvantage of the services you\u2019ve paid for by making an appointment with your\ndentist in Boonville. Take the time to review what\u2019s covered by your carrier\nand remember why it\u2019s best to receive dental care now rather than waiting for a\nserious issue to occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does Dental Insurance Cover?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The exact benefits provided by your PPO plan depends on who\nyour carrier is, but for the most part you can expect them to follow a\n\u201c100-80-50\u201d structures as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>100: <\/strong>Routine preventive care \u2013 that is,\nregular cleanings and diagnostic checkups \u2013 are usually completely covered by\ninsurance.<\/li><li><strong>80:<\/strong> Your insurance will pay most of the\ncost for basic procedures like fillings or root canals that are necessary to\nprotect or save your tooth.<\/li><li><strong>50:<\/strong> If a major procedure is needed, such\nas a crown to repair a damaged tooth or a bridge to fill an empty gap, your\ninsurance company may pay for half of it. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can expect every insurance plan to be different; for\nexample, some companies might have a different definition for what\u2019s covered\nunder \u201cmajor\u201d or \u201cbasic\u201d procedures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Should You Use Your Dental Insurance Benefits Now?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Benefits don\u2019t roll over; they expire. That means you lose any\nunused benefits once the new year begins. If you\u2019ve already paid your premiums,\nthis can end up costing you a lot of money. On the other hand, maximizing your\nbenefits can end up saving you hundreds of dollars in the long run!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the very least, you should have two dental cleanings and\ncheckups each year. These visits will help your dentist detect and treat gum\ndisease and cavities in their earliest stages. Leaving these conditions alone\nwill only lead to needing more complex, expensive treatment. It\u2019s far better\nfor your finances \u2013 as well as your oral health \u2013 to make full use of the\ncoverage you receive for preventive care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need additional treatment, such as a filling or a\ncrown, it\u2019s better to receive it sooner rather than later. Once the new year\narrives, your deductible will reset, and you\u2019ll have to pay it again before\nreceiving any coverage from your insurance carrier. Also, there\u2019s a chance your\ndentist will need to raise their rates in January, and that will affect the\namount you have to pay out of pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It doesn\u2019t make sense to pay for dental insurance and not\nuse the benefits it offers. Take the time to ask yourself, \u201cWhen\u2019s the last\ntime I saw a dentist near me?\u201d If you\u2019re not sure, now could be the best time\nto pick up the phone and call their practice. Your smile and your wallet will\nboth be better off for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Joseph T.
