Use it Before You Lose it: Maximizing Your Dental Insurance in Midwest City

For most companies, fall brings about benefit enrollment time. While you’re thinking about your 2017 benefits, it’s a good idea to review your 2016 dental benefits to ensure that you’ve maximized them for the year, and Midwest Dental Center can help. Dr. Steven Kendrick reminds you to use it before you lose it: maximizing your dental insurance in Midwest City.

How Dental Benefits Work

Most dental plans run on a calendar year plan, and have a yearly maximum. This means that you have an allotted amount of dollars they’ll pay each year for preventative care and restorative treatment, and if you don’t use these dollars before the end of the year, unfortunately you’ll lose them.

At Midwest Dental Center, we understand that dental benefits can be confusing; this is why our knowledgeable and friendly staff is always available to answer all of your insurance questions to help you effectively navigate and maximize your benefits.

As we approach the end of 2016, it’s a good idea to review if you’ve had your two cleaning and checkup appointments this year. Do you have any outstanding treatment that needs to be done such as a dental filling or crown? Our staff can also review this with you and get you scheduled for any outstanding treatment before the end of the year.

The Importance of Preventative Care

Many dental insurances cover most or all of your six-month cleaning and checkup appointments, and it’s important to come to those visits in order to prevent issues such as tooth decay, cavities, periodontal (gum) disease, and oral cancer. We’ll screen you for these conditions during every checkup to catch them in their earliest stages and ensure that you’ll be able to treat your issue with the most effective and least invasive treatment procedures.

Our highly skilled hygienists will also remove the excess plaque buildup that causes tooth decay and gum disease. We’ll also spend time educating you about your oral health so that you can make the most of your home care routine with proper brushing and flossing techniques. Our goal is to help you avoid many of the common dental concerns like tooth decay and cavities, and help you maintain a healthy, beautiful smile for a lifetime.
