\"DentalMore Americans than ever have dental insurance<\/a>, but less than 3% of people reach or exceed their annual limits. Every month you pay premiums for your dental benefits, so why not use them? Dental insurance can be confusing, but you don\u2019t have to throw money down the drain if you don\u2019t understand your policy. Here are 4 helpful tips to remember about your dental insurance in Sunnyvale to make the most of your investment.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Preventive Services are Covered 100%<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental insurance focuses on preventive care because routine cleanings and checkups stop common oral health problems, like cavities and gum disease. Visiting your dentist every 6 months allows you to preserve your smile and reduce your long-term oral health expenses. Research has found that every $1 spent on prevention can save $50 on restorative services. You can use your insurance to see your dentist regularly after a copayment because preventive dentistry is covered 100%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Restorative Services are Covered by Up to 80%<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many people admit to delaying dental work because they\u2019re concerned about the cost. You can use your dental insurance to prevent a small issue from turning into a big problem. After reaching your deductible, your insurance can pay up to 80% of common restorative procedures, like fillings, extractions, and root canals. You\u2019ll restore your oral health and avoid a costly dental emergency down the road for minimal out-of-pocket expense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. You Can Visit Any Dentist That Accepts Your Plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your dental insurance recommends choosing a dentist in Sunnyvale that\u2019s in their network to benefit from more coverage at the time of services. They have set rates with preferred dental offices for certain services to lower the amount you\u2019ll pay. However, you can visit any dentist that accepts your plan, even if they are out-of-network. You can use your benefits, but you\u2019ll have to pay the difference between the dentist\u2019s fees and your insurance\u2019s allowable coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Your Dental Coverage Expires at the End of the Year<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your dental insurance doesn\u2019t last forever. Your benefits will reset at the end of the year. You will lose anything you don\u2019t use because it won\u2019t carry over into the new year. Not to mention, you won\u2019t be reimbursed for your premiums or deductible. If you don\u2019t use everything you\u2019ve paid for, you could throw hundreds to thousands of dollars down the drain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t Wait to See Your Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t have to worry about navigating your insurance policy alone. Your dental team will work on your behalf to maximize your annual coverage. Don\u2019t wait until it\u2019s too late to achieve the healthy, beautiful smile you deserve without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
