Don’t Lose Your Delta Dental Insurance Benefits!

If you have Delta Dental insurance coverage and haven’t made use of your benefits yet, now is the time to schedule an appointment at your nearest CarolinasDentist office before the new year. Otherwise, you’ll forfeit covered services for this year that could benefit your oral health!

What Is Delta Dental?

Delta Dental is a dental insurance provider that has the largest network of dentists nationwide. When you have dental insurance, typically through your employer or your spouse’s employer, you pay an annual premium (usually in monthly installments) for full coverage on certain treatments and partial coverage with negotiated prices on other treatments. Your exact coverage will depend on your individual plan, but dental insurance will typically cover routine preventive examinations and cleanings, with different coverage amounts for specialized procedures.

What Happens If I Don’t Use My Dental Insurance Benefits?

If you have dental insurance, your benefits are “use it or lose it.” Not scheduling appointments means you’ll waste the money you spent on your premium and miss out on getting treatments that would be covered by dental insurance. Your Delta Dental insurance can cover much of your care at CarolinasDentist, but you don’t have to go back and forth with them yourself. Our team will work directly with your insurance provider to help you get maximum use of your benefits!

So if you have dental insurance and have yet to make a dental appointment this year, schedule an appointment now before your plan resets in January. Don’t miss out on receiving the oral healthcare you have essentially already paid for!

What If I Don’t Have Dental Insurance?

There are other ways you can affordably pay for your dental care if you don’t have dental insurance. At CarolinasDentist, we offer a variety of financial options outside of dental insurance, such as CareCredit®, Comprehensive Finance™, our Dental Discount Plan, and new patient specials. Additionally, we strive to design treatment plans that are personalized for both your dental needs and your budget!
