Dental implants are long-term replacements
Many people have their older fillings replaced with newer, tooth-colored fillings to enhance their dental appearance. Today there is another option for patients who are missing permanent teeth. Rather than resting on the gum line like removable dentures, or using adjacent teeth as anchors like fixed bridges, dental implants are long-term replacements.
Composed of titanium metal that "fuses" with the jawbone through a process called "Osseo integration," dental implants never slip or make embarrassing noises that advertise the fact that you have "false teeth," and never decay like teeth anchoring fixed bridges. Because dental implants fuse with the jawbone, bone loss is generally not a problem.
Dental care involves taking good care of your teeth, gums and the related structures of the mouth. Dental care includes prevention and treatment of diseases of the gum and teeth, and also the replacement or repair of defective teeth.
In many cases people may suffer from dental diseases due to sheer laziness and lack of knowledge towards proper dental care, with mostly the children and at times adults who often do not pay enough attention to teeth care. They fail to realize that healthy teeth and gum is extremely important to keeping you healthy and sound. Proper dental health is not only important to our healthy physical looks; it is essential to the well being of the entire body. There are some insurance agents out there gritting their teeth and shaking in their boots right now, but I don't care.
It's time everyone knew the truth about dental insurance plans. You see, most people are under the impression that they can put off seeing a dentist until they feel that it's absolutely necessary and then they'll be able to call up their insurance agent, grab a new dental insurance policy, see the dentist, file the claim and live happily ever after.
Is this what you think? Have you been deceived too? Don't feel bad because most people have been. Here are three reasons that dental insurance is not a good deal.Dental insurance is no different than any other type of insurance. It does not cover anything that is considered to be pre-existing at the time that you bought the policy.
This means that if you buy an insurance policy today, see a dentist and get your teeth worked on that your claim will be denied and you'll have to pay 100% of the costs, unless it's an appointment for basic care, such as cleaning, but even then you'll have to pay your annual deductible and co-pay.Administrator2012-10-28 06:35:43
