That\u2019s because this is the only way to cash in on the wealth of benefits these visits offer. Read on to learn what you stand to gain by scheduling a semi-annual appointment. Additionally, you\u2019ll find out what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.southarlingtondentalcare.com\/we-take-your-insurance.html\">insurance<\/a> companies your local professional is in-network with and the services they cover.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Why Now is the Time to Visit<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s important to get in before the end of the year for a six-month visit because your dental insurance will likely renew at the beginning of the year. Thus, you\u2019ll lose out on the benefits of a preventive care appointment.<\/p>\n<h2>The Benefits of Preventive Care Visits<\/h2>\n<p>Here are some of the advantages of visiting your dentist semi-annually:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Thorough Cleaning <\/strong>\u2013 Your dental hygienist will make sure that harmful plaque and tartar are removed from your teeth, leaving you with a cleaner and healthier mouth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tedious Examination <\/strong>\u2013 The check-up you receive will identify any threats to your oral health so they can be addressed early.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Open Communication <\/strong>\u2013 Another great benefit of visiting your dentist for preventive care is that you\u2019ll have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have. Thus, you can be fully equipped to incorporate the best habits into your dental care regimen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What Services are Covered by Your Insurance?<\/h2>\n<p>Most dental insurance plans are structured on a 100-80-50 model. That means that preventive care visits are fully insured, and treatments like root canals and fillings (called basic procedures) are 80% covered. That leaves 50% coverage for such work as crown or bridge placement (considered to be major procedures).<\/p>\n<h2>Who\u2019s In-Network?<\/h2>\n<p>Your South Arlington dentist is in-network with the following dental insurance companies:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cigna<\/li>\n<li>BlueCross<\/li>\n<li>BlueShield<\/li>\n<li>Delta Dental<\/li>\n<li>United Health Care<\/li>\n<li>Aetna<\/li>\n<li>Dental Network of America<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>But I Don\u2019t Have Insurance<\/h2>\n<p>For patients who don\u2019t have dental insurance, the professionals at South Arlington Dental Care offer the VIP Savings Plan. It\u2019s a membership program that provides the following perks:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>No deductibles<\/li>\n<li>No maximums<\/li>\n<li>2 free full-mouth and oral cancer screenings per year<\/li>\n<li>2 free check-ups and cleanings per year<\/li>\n<li>1 series of cavity-detecting x-rays<\/li>\n<li>20% off all dental procedures at South Arlington Dental Care<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whatever your financial situation is, your South Arlington dentist has a unique way of addressing it so you can get the dental care you need.
