New Dental Coverage Options Make It Easier to Keep Your Natural Teeth
Starting January 31, 2024, many insurance companies expanded their coverage to include crucial dental procedures that can help you maintain your natural teeth for longer. These changes are a significant step forward in making essential dental care more accessible to everyone.
Keeping Your Natural Teeth with Crowns and Root Canals
Under the new coverage guidelines, crowns and root canals will now be covered in certain circumstances, allowing more people to preserve their natural teeth rather than resorting to extractions. This is excellent news for anyone looking to avoid the discomfort and long-term effects of losing a tooth. Crowns and root canals are vital procedures for saving teeth that have been compromised by decay or injury, and with this expanded coverage, these treatments will be more affordable and accessible.
Simplified Access to Replacement Dentures and Implants
Another exciting change involves replacement dentures and dental implants. Previously, getting approval for these could be a lengthy and complicated process. However, starting in 2024, the process will be streamlined. A simple recommendation from your dentist, along with the necessary prior approval documents, will be sufficient to determine if these treatments are necessary. This will make it much easier for patients to access the dental care they need without unnecessary delays.
What This Means for You
These changes mean that many insurance policies will now offer broader support for critical dental procedures, making it easier for you to keep your natural teeth and get the replacements you need when necessary. With more comprehensive coverage, you can focus on maintaining a healthy smile without the stress of high out-of-pocket costs.
