Are cosmetic dental procedures covered by my insurance?

Cosmetic Dentistry and Insurance Whether cosmetic dentistry procedures are covered depends greatly on your insurance plan and the specific procedure you have in mind. While crowns, bridges, and many other restorations are covered by insurance, purely cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening and dental veneers often are not. The best way to find out if a specific procedure is covered by your insurance is to call your plan and ask them directly. If you need assistance with this, let us know, and we will be happy to help out. Contact Us If you have any questions about cosmetic dentistry procedures or the insurance plans that we accept, please don't hesitate to contact our office in Rehoboth Beach, DE.

Are dental implant restorations an alternative to dentures?

Dental Implants vs. Dentures Dental implants can be an alternative to dentures in some cases. The practicality of replacing dentures or partials with dental implants will depend on how many teeth need to be replaced. Some insurance providers will cover dentures and not dental implant restorations, which could make the cost prohibitive for some people. We can discuss your options with you and help you come up with a solution that will fit your needs and your lifestyle. Contact Us To learn more about whether dentures or dental implants are right for you, please contact our Rehoboth Beach office.

Are dental veneers permanent?

How often do veneers need to be replaced? While the veneers themselves are not permanent and will need to be replaced about every five to ten years, once the procedure has been performed, it is not reversible. Placing veneers involves the removal of a thin layer of enamel, and replacement veneers are necessary to protect the tooth.

Are my kids old enough to brush their teeth by themselves?

Oral Health for Kids Brushing requires both the development of fine motor skills, patience, and attention to detail. Most kids are not able to properly brush their teeth without help until they are between the ages of 6 and 8 years old. Your dentist can watch your child and help you determine when he or she is old enough to brush independently. In the meantime, encourage your child to brush but follow up and provide hands-on assistance. Be sure that your child knows to brush the backs and tops of their teeth, not just the front.

Aren't dental veneers just for movie stars and celebrities?

How can dental veneers help my smile? Not at all. While many movie stars and other celebrities do turn to dental veneers to give them the flawless smiles we expect to see on the movie screen, dental veneers have now become much more accessible and affordable. If you are interested in fixing any cosmetic dental flaws you might have with veneers, please call Rehoboth Beach Dental to schedule an appointment.

At what age should my kids start seeing the dentist?

A Child's First Dentist Visit We recommend that children visit a dentist for by their first birthday. These visits are both an opportunity for your dentist to check the development of your child's mouth and teeth and for your child to begin to become accustomed to visiting the dentist, sitting in the dentist chair, and having people check his or her teeth. These first visits are essential for building a lifetime of good dental health and habits. Contact Our Rehoboth Beach Office Today! To schedule your child's first dentist appointment, please contact our friendly, local office.
