Do you have dental insurance or possibly a health savings account? If so, then you have money and benefits that may expire at the end of December unless used. In today’s blog, your Astoria, NY, dentist wants to help you start a new year with your bright and healthy smile by using your benefits before you lose them!
Your Dental Benefits
If you have dental insurance, then you have a set number of benefits you can use each year. If you fail to use them, they don’t roll over and instead expire. You then have a waiting period in 2023 for your new ones to become available. Likewise, if you have a health savings account, then you accrue money throughout the year that again could expire unless used. Don’t let these benefits and funds you’ve earned and paid for simply vanish, consider a visit to our office soon! You can use these before the holiday season complicates your schedule, and this helps you start a new year with a new smile!
Checkups
Your visit will begin with a checkup. Using intraoral cameras and digital x-rays, our team will take detailed images of your smile. We will use these to make a diagnosis with accuracy and precision, so we can decide what treatments will be necessary to ensure optimal oral health. Our exam will watch for signs of tooth decay and infection, as well as gingivitis and gum disease. We also watch for TMJ disorder, bruxism (teeth grinding), and even screen for oral cancer too. In the same visit, our team will clean the teeth to remove all plaque and tartar, a process that not only fights bad breath and teeth stains, but lowers the risk of cavities and periodontal issues too.
Treatment Plans
We have a comprehensive array of treatment options. In addition to checkups and cleanings, we can create oral appliances to tackle TMJ disorder, bruxism, and even sleep apnea. We have cosmetic treatments to mask stains, remove discoloration, or even reshape teeth or hide gaps between them. Clear aligners can provide nearly invisible orthodontic care, and our lifelike restorations can treat tooth decay, damage, and infection. Our team can even replace missing teeth with lifelike prosthetics and implant restorations too! If you have any questions about how we diagnose and treat these concerns, then contact our team today to learn more and schedule your next visit!
