Dental Benefits: What Does that Mean?

Don't Put Off For Tomorrow What Should Be Done Today

Do you have dental insurance coverage through your employer or through an individual plan? If you do, then you have dental benefits! This is good news! In most cases, dental insurance will cover your basic dental cleanings and exams at 100%! So what does this mean if you don't visit your dentist? It means that the money that your employer and/or you have been paying for dental insurance throughout the year will go to waste. Why would you pay for dental insurance coverage and not use it when there is a benefit to you?


Dental insurance is different in that it acts like a discount card or coupon. You have a set limit to your benefits for the year. This limit is usually $1,000-$1,500 for the year, sometimes more depending on the policy. Many dental insurance policies start over with the new calendar year meaning that the yearly benefit you have to use toward dental treatment will be lost. Don't let any necessary dental needs go by without getting the issues fixed because dental issues only get bigger and more costly with time.


We have the ability to see you and get you on the schedule before the end of this year so be sure to give us a call and let your friends, family, and co-workers know if they are looking to get in to the dentist before the end of the year Reed Dental Center is the place to be! Our office number is 785-274-9917 to call and schedule your appointment today!
