If you have dental insurance coverage, or possibly a health savings account, then you have benefits and money that you can use. Otherwise, they will simply expire at the end of December. In today’s blog, your Livonia, MI, dentist talks about how to use your dental benefits for dental implants before they expire!
Dental Benefits and Health Savings Accounts
Do you have dental insurance? If so, then you have a set amount of benefits you can use for cutting down on the cost of treatment in 2022. Whatever isn’t used will simply expire at the end of December. Likewise, if you have a health savings account, then you’re accruing funds throughout the year that can be used for medical and dental needs. Again, you could lose the money you’ve earned unless you use them before December comes to a close. Don’t let these simply expire, use them for the final checkup and cleaning of 2022, and for any treatments to ensure you start 2022 with your best possible smile!
The Initial Consultation
The initial visit is an exam, so we can gather x-rays and intraoral camera images of your teeth and gums, as well as your jaw and oral structures. We will assess the cause and extent of your tooth loss, and the chances of natural teeth remain in your smile. Our team can find out if you need underlying oral health issues like gum disease that require treatment before moving forward with tooth replacement. We then create a treatment plan to address your tooth loss and rebuild your smile. Whether you have one lost tooth or several, we can help with lifelike and long-lasting results.
Dental Implant Options
With a dental implant and crown, we can replace an individual missing tooth. One to two dental implants could also be used to secure a bridge. For more severe cases of tooth loss, several posts per arch could secure a partial denture or a full one, with a lifelike prosthetic that absorbs daily bite forces and looks natural. With All-On-Four, we use smaller and more economical posts to secure a full smile with only four implants. In fact, we can often insert the posts and attach the completed prosthetic in the same visit!
If you have any questions about how we treat tooth loss, or about using your remaining benefits, then contact our team today!
