Many people view regular dental care as a luxury, but it's actually a necessity. Your oral health and general wellness are connected. You don't have to worry about a large bill to keep your mouth and body healthy. If you have dental insurance, you have access to reduced rates for the services you need to keep your teeth and gums healthy. When choosing a United Concordia dentist in Willow Grove, you're investing in exceptional oral health without it costing you an arm or a leg.
Dental insurance works a bit differently than your medical coverage. Your monthly premiums allow you to benefit from comprehensive coverage from a nationwide network of dental professionals. Although every policy differs, most plans include:
The American Dental Association recommends a cleaning and checkup every 6 months to keep preventable oral health issues at bay, like cavities and gum disease. Not only will you avoid tooth loss, but you'll also benefit from reduced overall oral health expenses. Researchers have found that every $1 of preventative dentistry can save up to $50 on restorative fees. You can visit your dentist twice a year for a co-payment.
If we find anything concerning, don't fret about the cost of dental work. After meeting your annual deductible, United Concordia may pay 50% to 80% of the expenses for medically necessary procedures. You can use your yearly allowance to lower the amount you'll pay out-of-pocket.
Unfortunately, your dental benefits don't last forever. They expire at the end of the year and you'll lose anything you haven't used. Nothing will accumulate and you aren't reimbursed for your premiums or deductibles. On average, less than 3% of Americans meet or exceed their annual limits, which accounts for billions of dollars lost every year in unused dental benefits. We don't want to see you throw money down the drain.
United Concordia recommends choosing a dentist in their network because they have pre-negotiated rates for specific services. However, you can still use your coverage at an out-of-network dentist. You'll enjoy more freedom to choose dentists and services, but you may pay more out-of-pocket. We are proud to accept both in-network and out-of-network patients.
