But since your oral health is so important to your overall quality of life, you can\u2019t afford to neglect it (no pun intended!) But by scheduling with a dentist in Coral Springs before the year is over and using a few tips and tricks, you can get the most out of your insurance and make dental care affordable for everyone in the family. Keep reading below to find out which procedures are usually covered and get tips on how to take advantage of your benefits!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Will Your Insurance Cover?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are hundreds, if not thousands of different dental insurance plans, so always be sure to check your specific benefits to see what\u2019s covered. Having said that, here are some average figures for common procedures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cleanings, X-Rays and Exams<\/strong> \u2013 Since checkups are preventative, they\u2019re usually covered at 100%. Most plans cover 2 checkups a year, but more frequent visits may be covered during pregnancy or for patients who have gum disease, diabetes or cancer. Also, your plan might cover professional fluoride treatments, which are a great way to prevent cavities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Deep Cleanings<\/strong> \u2013 Deep cleanings are often recommended for patients with gum disease and are usually covered at 60%-80%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Crowns and Bridges<\/strong> \u2013 Many plans will cover crown and bridgework at 50% &#8211; 70%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fillings and Root Canals<\/strong> \u2013 Fillings and root canals are typically covered at 60%-80%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can You Avoid Missing Out On Your Insurance Benefits?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you feel like every year slips past before you\u2019ve scheduled your dental work, you\u2019re not alone. The American Dental Association found that the average annual insurance benefit is $1,250 per person, but that most people only use around $323. That means many people are losing over $900 each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid this situation, start by checking when your plan year starts and ends. Most plans start January 1<sup>st<\/sup> and end December 31<sup>st<\/sup>, but in some cases, they operate on a fiscal calendar year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, try to schedule any appointments as soon as possible because dental schedules often fill up quickly. In particular, be sure to schedule your checkup because they\u2019re usually covered at 100% and won\u2019t cost you anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need more involved dental work, you can ask a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentistrycoralsprings.com\/request-an-appointment.html\">dentist in Coral Springs<\/a> to file a preauthorization beforehand, which is a formal estimate of your total cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, remember that the annual maximum for most people is between $1,000-$3,000. It just makes financial sense to use this money to achieve great oral health and a beautiful smile &#8211; instead of passing it by!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentistrycoralsprings.com\/meet-the-doctors.html\">Dr. Walter Kulick<\/a> is a general, cosmetic and restorative dentist in Coral Springs who knows that dental insurance can be difficult for patients to navigate.
