This\ngives you access to comprehensive coverage that\u2019s designed to keep your smile\nhealthy. Besides preventive care, you\u2019re also given a yearly allowance to use toward\nrestorative treatments after paying your annual deductible. Depending on your\nspecific plan, you may have coverage for other services as well, like orthodontia.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the year, your policy will expire. You aren\u2019t\nreimbursed for any benefits you don\u2019t use. They also won\u2019t carry over into the\nnew year for accumulation. With less than 3% of Americans meeting or exceeding\ntheir annual allowance, you might be at risk of losing hundreds to thousands of\ndollars that could have been spent on your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can I Maximize My Dental Insurance?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental insurance is designed with prevention in mind.\nResearch shows, every $1 spent on prevention can save you as much as $50 on\nrestorative or emergency care. Routine cleanings and checkups allow your\ndentist to monitor your smile to reduce your risk of common issues, like tooth\ndecay and gum disease. As a result, you are less likely to need a costly\ntreatment down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your insurance company will pay for 1 to 2 preventive\nappointments per year to reduce your overall dental expenses. To make the most\nof your insurance policy, they will also recommend you choose a dentist who in\nyour network. They have pre-negotiated rates with the insurance carrier,\nreducing the amount you need to pay. You can still visit any dentist who accepts\nyour insurance, but you\u2019ll need to pay the difference between the dentist\u2019s fees\nand your policy\u2019s allowable coverage. This can give you more freedom to choose specific\ndentists and treatments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t been to the dentist within the past 6 months,\ndon\u2019t wait until it\u2019s too late to schedule an appointment. Your dentist will\nwork on your behalf with your insurance carrier to file the necessary claims\nand paperwork to maximize your dental benefits before they expire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start the Year with a Healthy Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we head into 2020, take the time to visit your dentist.\nYou can start the new year with a healthy, beautiful smile for reduced rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Dr. Gretchen Anjomi<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For over 20 years, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smiledmd.com\/meet-dr-gretchen-anjomi.html\">Dr. Anjomi<\/a> has\nprovided comprehensive dental care to the community to help her patients achieve\noptimal oral health.
