You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile

“You’re never fully dressed without a smile.” The musical Annie sends a reminder that a toothy grin is a curve that sets the world straight. Your smile is an important part of you, all the more reason to protect it with a unique dental insurance plan. Read on for a few of the top reasons to make dental insurance a priority.

The Dreaded Root Canal

As much as we would hate to have a root canal, the thought of paying for it is just as bad. A standard root canal costs anywhere from $300 to $1,000 and a crown could cost up to $1,500! Talk about sticker shock for an unavoidable procedure. Having dental coverage could mean a less painful experience (maybe not for your mouth, but for your wallet especially!) Root canals, bridges, crowns and fillings are all treatments covered by Insight’s dental insurance plan.

Orthodontics

Take a look at any junior high sports photo, and you’ll notice braces on a great majority of the team members. It seems as if it is now more uncommon to see teenagers who haven’t had some sort of care. Tin grins are also becoming more common among middle aged adults. What was once an infrequent treatment for kids & adults is now popular for millions in the United States. Orthodontic care can alleviate many problems, including headaches, jaw issues and deliver a beautiful smile, but it comes with a price. Orthodontic care can cost upwards from $4,000, depending on the price of treatment without coverage. According to the National Association of Orthodontists, it has become more common to see orthodontic care covered by insurance companies. Insight can create a unique policy for you, tailored to your own needs.

Whiter Whites

Perhaps the most important reason of all is improved dental health! With an insurance plan that covers treatment, teeth and gums will stay as healthy as possible, due to routine checkups and ensured care. With confidence that the required procedures will be covered, the peace of mind that comes with a healthy mouth is unbeatable. With two cleanings, exams and bite wings per year, keeping up on your dental health can also help detect diabetes, heart and kidney disease, certain types of cancer and osteoporosis. Oral health reflects overall health, and 90% of systemic diseases have symptoms that can manifest in the mouth.
