But like many Americans, you\u2019re really worried about how much this treatment will cost, so you\u2019ve put off making an appointment. It\u2019s hard to blame you for that \u2013 unexpected expenses are stressful! However, there are at least three reasons why getting that crown before the end of the year will actually <em>save <\/em>you money. Keep reading to learn how your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wemakeyousmile.com\/for-patients.html#insurance\">dental insurance benefits<\/a> can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Your Dental Insurance Will Provide Coverage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The vast majority of dental insurance plans cover at least part of the costs associated with crown treatments. In fact, depending on whether your policy defines crowns as being a major or minor restoration, you could receive coverage for as much as 50% to 80% of your expenses. Plus, if you have dental insurance, you\u2019re paying a monthly premium in exchange for these benefits, so put it to good use by scheduling appointments when you need them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Deductibles Reset on January 1st<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dental insurance coverage is tied to something called a <strong>deductible<\/strong>. When your out-of-pocket expenses go over that deductible, your benefits will \u201ckick in\u201d and be applied to your treatments (with the exception of checkups and cleanings, which are usually covered regardless).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use this to your advantage, especially at this time of year, but only if you receive your crown before January 1st! After that, your benefits will \u201creset,\u201d and so will any progress you\u2019ve made towards your deductible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Treatment Could Cost More Later<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need a dental crown, it\u2019s probably because your tooth is severely damaged. Unlike other parts of your body, your pearly whites can\u2019t repair themselves. This means that without protection, your tooth will be more vulnerable to further breakage and infection. Over time, the problem will only get worse, not better. Getting your crown now will prevent you from needing more costly treatment later!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Dental Team is Here to Help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even with these tips in mind, understanding dental insurance benefits isn\u2019t exactly easy. Fortunately, you don\u2019t have to know everything \u2013 that\u2019s what your reliable dental team is for! They handle dental insurance every day, and are familiar with how many plans work, so you can trust them to help you confirm your coverage. Give them a call before the year ends so you can see just how affordable your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wemakeyousmile.com\/dental-crowns.html\">dental crown treatment<\/a> can be!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wemakeyousmile.com\/meet-dr-hoop.html\">Dr. George A.
