Don't Let Your Dental Benefits go to Waste!

Have you been fully utilizing your insurance benefits? Think again. Each year, insurance companies give you a limited amount of funds to use for your dental treatment. Many people do not know that insurance companies also offer free "benefits" that you can utilize anytime during the year. If you don't use them, you forfeit those funds at year-end. So, why let them go to waste?

Before we discuss how to utilize your insurance benefits, let us understand how they work.

How do Insurance Benefits work?

Insurance companies love to save each penny of their money - they prefer that you remain healthy and do not have to use your insurance for your treatment. How do they do that? By offering preventing treatments and checkups, make sure that you don't have any dental problems - and you don't make insurance claims for expensive procedures like fillings and root canal treatment. So, what do they do? They offer you benefits like twice-yearly cleanings and checkups.

It's a win-win situation for both - the insurance companies save money while you get to retain those pearly white teeth of yours. Unfortunately, many people are not aware of these benefits. According to an estimate, less than 3% of PPO dental plan members fully utilize their benefits each year - and that money goes into the pockets of the insurance companies.

Getting the Most of Out of Your Insurance Benefits

Now that you know about insurance benefits, let's see how you can make the most out of them.

First things first, contact your insurance provider and ask for a comprehensive overview of the benefits that are covered by your plan. Some of the common insurance benefits include professional teeth cleanings (typically twice a year) and preventive dental checkup visits. You can also consult with our dentists at Westlake Smile Design regarding any treatments you require, covered by your insurance benefits.

We all have busy schedules, and some have a hard time booking an appointment with the dentist. But remember, nothing is more important than your oral health! So, why put your oral health at risk when all you need is regular dental checkups and professional cleaning - especially when you don't need to spend a single penny?

As the year 2020 is fast approaching its end, there is still time for you to cash-out your insurance benefits. Call us today to book a checkup or professional cleaning appointment with us and dazzle your friends and family with a healthy, youthful, and charming smile this Christmas.

Happy Holidays!
