Do you have dental insurance or a health savings account? If so, then you likely have benefits and funds that you need to use before the year ends and they disappear. We can help! In today’s blog, your Encinitas/San Diego, CA, periodontist talks about helping our patients use their benefits before the year ends!
Your Dental Insurance Plan
If you have dental insurance, then you have benefits available to use throughout the year, and if you don’t use them they will simply vanish after December 31st. Likewise, if you have a health savings account, then you could have funds available to use that will also go away unless you take advantage of them. The holiday season means your time is going to fill up quickly, and we don’t want you to miss the chance to use what you have earned and start a new year with a new smile. Talk to our office staff, which are here to help you understand your benefits and what is available to use for treatment, so you can plan for your smile improvements!
Planning Your Periodontal Treatment
If you have sore, red, and bleeding gums, then you could have periodontal disease and may need care to manage it and avoid the stage known as periodontitis, which is linked to receding gums and adult tooth loss. Our team can conduct a detailed examination with advanced digital imaging technology, so we can assess the cause and extent of your gum issues and then plan treatment to manage it and keep your smile intact.
Helping Your Gums and Replacing Missing Teeth
With advanced laser dentistry, our team can use dental lasers to gently remove diseased portions of the gums and reshape the gum line, while also destroying pockets of harmful bacteria that could inflame the tissues and lead to concerns like periodontitis and missing teeth. This technology provides care with precision and comfort, and ensures the treated areas heal fast while limiting the risk of complications like swelling, bleeding, and infection.
If you suffer from missing teeth, then we could plan the placement of dental implants and also use lasers to help with the process, so you obtain new teeth that will look and function like natural ones. If you have any questions about our approach to extracting periodontal issues, or if you would like to talk about using your 2025 dental benefits before they expire, then reach out to our team today to get started!
