Dental issues left untreated can lead to more severe problems and even impact your overall health. Now is the perfect time to schedule an appointment with our experienced team at Blue Ocean Dentistry. Dr. Katie Tsuchiyama and Dr. Fred Wong and our dental staff provide high-quality dental care and help you make the most of your dental insurance benefits.
Dental Benefit Insurance Coverage
Dental insurance is a valuable resource that can significantly reduce the financial burden of maintaining your oral health. Here are some types of services typically covered by dental insurance benefits
Preventive Care Covered by Dental Insurance
Most dental plans fully cover preventive services such as regular check-ups, cleanings, and X-rays. These routine visits are essential for catching dental issues early and preventing more extensive and expensive treatments down the road.
Another Covered Dental Benefit: Basic Restorative Procedures
Dental insurance often covers basic procedures like fillings and extractions. Addressing cavities and dental infections promptly is essential to prevent them from worsening.
Gum Disease Treatment
Many dental plans offer coverage for periodontal (gum) treatments, including scaling and root planing. Treating gum disease is crucial to maintaining the health of your teeth and gums.
Orthodontic Services
Some plans provide coverage for orthodontic treatments, including braces or clear aligners. A straighter smile not only boosts your confidence but also improves your oral health.
Oral Surgery
Dental insurance may cover oral surgery procedures, such as wisdom teeth extraction or dental implant placement.
Ways to Pay
Now, let’s talk about payment options. We understand that dental treatments can be a financial concern, even with insurance. That’s why we offer flexible payment solutions to accommodate your needs.
Cash
Despite threats from COVID-19 to eliminate cash, bills and coins still work if you prefer to pay for your dental treatments outright.
FSAs allow you to set aside pre-tax dollars from your paycheck to cover eligible medical and dental expenses. Utilizing your FSA funds can help you effectively manage dental expenses.
Care Credit in Lieu Of (Or With) Dental Insurance
Care Credit is a healthcare credit card that offers special financing options for medical and dental procedures. It provides you with the flexibility to pay for treatments over time, making it more accessible to get the care you need when you need it.
