\"\"For most companies, fall and winter mark open enrollment for employee benefits. As you\u2019re looking over your benefit options for 2017, it\u2019s also a good time to review your dental benefits for 2016. Have you utilized your dental maximum for the year? Dr. Yu and Dr. Carroll can help you understand and make the most of your dental insurance dollars. Your dentist in Glastonbury reminds you to make the most of your dental benefits.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How Your Dental Benefits Work<\/h3>\n

Most dental plans run on a calendar year and have an annual maximum for preventive care and restorative treatment. If you don\u2019t use those dollars by December 31st, unfortunately, they don\u2019t roll over to next year; you lose them. We know that dental insurance can be confusing to understand, and that\u2019s why our friendly and knowledgeable staff members are on hand to answer your questions about your insurance and help you determine if you\u2019ve maximized your benefit for the year.<\/p>\n

The Importance of Preventive Care<\/h3>\n

Most dental insurances cover your preventive care<\/a>, which means that your cleaning and checkup appointments are paid for in full. These appointments are important for helping you avoid dental issues such as oral cancer, gum disease, and tooth decay.<\/p>\n

Not only do we remove the excessive plaque buildup that causes these issues during your cleaning, but we also screen you for those concerns at every checkup appointment. Be sure that you\u2019ve had both of your cleaning and checkup appointments for 2016 before the end of the year.<\/p>\n

Schedule Your Restorative Treatment Now<\/h3>\n

If you have outstanding dental work that needs to be done, such as a filling or crown, now is the time to schedule so you can complete your work before December 31st<\/sup> and maximize your benefit.<\/p>\n

At Carroll Family Dentistry<\/a>, we offer same-day crown appointments for your convenience. You\u2019ll be able to complete your crown from start to finish in one appointment at our office, so you can schedule this workup until December 31st to receive your full benefit.<\/p>\n

Dr. Veronica Yu and Dr. John Carroll are here to be your partners in maintaining optimum oral health. We understand that this isn’t always easy on your wallet, and that\u2019s why we want to help you use your dental benefits to the fullest. Give us a call today to discuss your treatment needs and determine if you have remaining benefits to use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
