Before you know it, the end of 2022 will be here. Sooner than that, the hectic holiday season will be here too! Which means now is the time to see us and use your 2022 dental benefits end. In today’s blog, your Woodland Hills, CA, dentist talks about taking time to use your benefits before you lose them.

The Benefits You’ve Earned

If you currently carry dental insurance, then there is a chance you still have benefits you haven’t used in 2022, and those will expire at night on December 31^st unless out to good use! The same goes for many health savings account funds, which may not roll over into 2023. Don’t let this vanish, use them to start 2023 with your best possible smile! You can use them now and also undergo treatment before the holiday season really starts, and your availability for treatment is reduced. We would love to work with you, and even file for you, so give us a call to arrange your checkup and cleaning visit.

The Exam Process

To understand the current state of your smile and any areas of concern, we will first perform a detailed dental exam. The procedure will enable our team to take a close look at your smile for possible signs of trouble, using digital x-rays and intraoral cameras to do so with precision and accuracy. We can then craft a personalized treatment plan to address these concerns. Common examples of what we watch for include tooth decay, dental infection, gingivitis, and periodontal disease, as well as TMJ disorder and chronic teeth grinding (bruxism). We could also screen for oral cancer as well!

In the same sitting, our team will clean the teeth too. A dental cleaning involves using an ultrasonic scaling device and a manual tool to break up and remove all plaque and tartar buildup, ensuring a brighter smile and a reduced risk of cavities and gum disease. This also fights bad breath and teeth stains too!

Continuing Your Treatment

Our team can treat cavities and other issues, like dental damage, with lifelike restorations. We have an array of cosmetic treatments to brighten teeth and ease imperfections in the shape of the teeth. Our prosthetics can replace missing teeth, and our custom oral appliances can tackle issues like TMD, sleep apnea, and bruxism. If you have any questions, then give us a call today.
