The Importance of Using Dental Benefits

February 25, 2014

In December, we talked about the advantages of using your dental benefits before the year ended. Since we are early into 2014, we want to emphasize that point, making sure you remain in excellent oral health all through the year. Dr. Giamberardino is ready to help you make sure that all of your dental needs are taken care of, no matter how simple or complex.

Many people may not know that once the year ends, the benefits you accumulated throughout do not roll over to the next year. In order to start of 2014 on good footing, we recommend planning ahead and taking full advantage of your benefits before the end of the year. Since the American Dental Association recommends you visit your dentist at least twice a year, make it a priority to schedule your checkup appointments. The checkups are especially beneficial, as we take that opportunity to investigate your entire mouth, looking for any early signs of disease. If you were to put that off, the cost could end up being a lot more expensive and come out of your own pocket, versus having your dental benefits take care of the issue for you.

If you have a filling that needs to be restored, a new crown, or need to replace your dentures, it is important to use your dental benefits for that as well, as it gives you the opportunity to use up your annual maximums. All of this will end up saving you money down the road, and your mouth will be in better health because of it. Also, if you have a Health Savings Account (HAS) at your job, we will be more than happy to help you plan ahead for whatever dental needs you may have! If you have any questions, please call our office and we will be glad to help!

Restore Your Smile with Dental Implants

February 12, 2014

Dental implants, yo.Many people consider a smile a first impression, and when you are not confident in your smile, it can be detrimental to your self-esteem. If you have teeth missing from your smile, you may lack the confidence it takes to make a memorable first impression. Aside from being aesthetically displeasing, having missing teeth can be detrimental for the rest of your teeth, as they will start to shift to fill the empty space. Luckily, Dr. Giamberardino is able to offer a permanent solution to your dental woes with the help of dental implants.

Your journey to dental implants begins with a consultation with Dr. Giamberardino. There, he will be able to fully assess your smile in its current state, and he will speak with you about what your long term goals are regarding your smile. During the consultation, you will also be able to address any questions or concerns you may have, as we want you to be informed every step of the way.

If it is determined you are a candidate for dental implants, the procedure commences with embedding a titanium screw into the socket where the missing tooth is. This screw will act as a new tooth root, and will fuse with your bone. After that, the abutment is added, which is essentially a support system for the implant and the crown. The tooth-resembling crown is added after the abutment, completing your new, beautiful smile!

One of the great things about dental implants is the fact they can last a lifetime, and they look like your natural teeth! Dental implants are easy to take care of, and, most importantly, they can restore your self confidence. When you are confident in your smile and yourself, that confidence has the potential to leak into many areas of your life, resulting in a more well-rounded life! If you have any questions on dental implants and how Dr. Giamberardino can help, make an appointment today!
