If scheduling that looming root\ncanal isn\u2019t one of them, it should be because each year, thousands of dollars\nin unused benefits are lost because of time, money, or fear. Don\u2019t let your\ndental work be pushed aside. Hear from a family dentist in Crown Point who\nexplains what can happen if you don\u2019t use your benefits before January 1. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If You Don\u2019t Use Them, You Lose Them<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental insurance is just like a gym membership in that you\npay a monthly fee to have access. However, if you continue to pay but never use\nthe benefits, you\u2019re simply wasting money and forgoing the opportunity to\nimprove yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on a calendar year, your dental insurance benefits do\nnot roll over with the new year. If you\u2019ve met your deductible but are opting\nto hold off on that root canal, you are missing out on a valuable opportunity.\nBy waiting until next year, you will be responsible for the majority of the\ncost, whereas, if you take care of it now, you will save money out of your own\npocket and allow the insurance company to pay for most of your procedure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to remember that the premium you pay each\nmonth is for access to your own plan, which is full of useful benefits that can\nbe used to improve your oral health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Preventive Care Can Benefit You Most<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every six months, you are encouraged to see your dentist in\nCrown Point for a regular dental checkup and cleaning. This type of preventive\ncare has many benefits, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>It is covered 80-100% by most dental insurance\ncompanies<\/li><li>It ensures your teeth and gums are in optimal\ncondition<\/li><li>It allows your dentist to check for problems and\nformulate a treatment plan should there be a cause for concern<\/li><li>It prevents additional problems from developing\nin the future<\/li><li>It saves you money<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Since your dental insurance company values preventive care\nso much, they are thrilled when you choose to be proactive about your oral\nhealth. The reason is that they are less likely to have to pay for extensive\nprocedures and treatments if you are taking care of your teeth and gums now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of coverage is just one of the many reasons it is\nstrongly encouraged that you see an in-network provider, as they have pre-negotiated\nservices and cost with the insurance company, ensuring patients receive the\nbest dental care at the lowest price. As an in-network provider for Delta\nDental Premier, Advanced Dental Concepts also accepts all PPO plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advanced Dental Wellness Plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Advanced Dental Concepts is proud to offer its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adc4smiles.com\/advanced-dental-wellness-plan.html\">Advanced\nDental Wellness Plan<\/a> to patients who are uninsured but seek dental\ncoverage.
