If you have dental insurance or a health savings account, then you have benefits and funds that will expire at the end of the year. But there is still time to use them before they expire. In today’s blog, your team at Cedar West Dental in Richfield, MN, talks about using your dental benefits before they expire.
Dental Benefits and Health Savings Accounts
Let’s talk about your dental insurance and/or health savings account. With both of these options, you likely have benefits and funds that will simply vanish at midnight on December 31st. We don’t want you to just lose these, when we could help you understand what is available to cover treatment and how much, and help plan care to ensure you close out 2026 with a healthier smile. A visit now is a chance to help your smile before the hectic holiday season arrives and limits your time to see us.
Dental Exams and Cleanings
The first step is helping you enjoy optimal oral health is an initial checkup. We will talk to you about your oral hygiene habits, possible symptoms you are experiencing, and other factors that could impact oral health. We then look closely at your teeth, gums, roots, and more with digital x-rays and intraoral cameras, making a diagnosis with precision and accuracy. In the same visit, we will clean the teeth to remove all plaque and tartar, which lowers the risk of issues like bad breath, teeth stains, cavities, and even gum disease. Our team can also create a personalized treatment plan to address any concerns we uncover as part of your exam!
Our Treatment Options
Our team is proud to offer a host of treatment options to help your smile. With general dentistry, we can offer custom oral appliances to handle concerns like TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding). Custom fillings and crowns could repair teeth and take on decay or infection, and offer a natural-looking appearance too. Our team can discuss replacing missing teeth with bridges or even implant dentistry and dentures. For cosmetic concerns, we could offer boding, contouring, whitening and more to boost the overall beauty of your smile.
