Hello Facebook world, I am sure most of you know already but, just in case you do not, I have officially retired. Yes, that is right I sold the practice in October to Dr Hannah Leezer. She is a wonderful dentist who I am certain will care for my patients the way I have done all these years. According to my team she is a good fit. So congratulations to Dr Leezer and congrats to me! I now can go travel and hang out with my grandkids and family. So if you have any dental needs please give them a call the practice is now named Evergreen Dental.

Are you surprised at how little your dental insurance covers? Many Americans are. A root canal and crown can cost around 3,000.00 year a typical policy might only pay around one third of that. Experts note that many patients mistakenly believe dental coverage works like medical insurance, which is meant to protect against large, unexpected costs. The reality is that Dental insurance functions more like a discount program that helps defray routine care expenses but rarely pays the full price of major procedures.
Most plans cover 100% of preventive care such as cleanings and exams, about 80% of basic work such as fillings, and only 50% of major treatments such as crowns or bridges. They also impose annual maximums (e.g., paying only $1500.00 per year) and deductibles patients must meet before coverage begins. Once an annual limit is reached, any additional costs come entirely out of pocket, explains ADA spokesperson Sara Stuefen, DDS.
Dentists recommend several strategies to manage costs. Patients can request a pretreatment estimate of prior authorization to anticipate out -of-pocket fees, though insurers may still adjust coverage afterward, Dr Stuefen notes, adding that receiving preventive care, like regular cleanings, remains the most cost-effective way to avoid expensive procedures. Getting a second opinion or asking about staged treatments and payment plans can also help spread costs and prevent exceeding annual maximums.
While some professionals criticize dental insurance as outdated or even exploitative, others view it as a limited financial tool rather than true insurance. Ultimately, understanding coverage limits and asking informed questions are key to avoiding unwelcome financial surprises at the dentist.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY...
Take change by the horns and guide it to where you need it to go. Find your new ground. Take a few steps forward, a few steps back, and a few steps forward again. Change is a dance and life is a dance. It's simply up to us to create the music that weaves it all together in a miraculous rhythm and melody—the dance that keeps us moving forward day by day.
