The sooner you contact your dentist, the sooner they can provide an appropriate solution, such as placing a customized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beckdentalcare.com\/dental-crowns.html\">dental crown<\/a>, to restore your smile\u2019s function and appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if you\u2019ve been waiting for \u2018the right time\u2019 to contact your dentist, you may not have scheduled a visit yet, putting your grin at risk. Continue reading to learn more about 3 excellent reasons to book an appointment with your provider before the year ends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #1: Avoid Additional Damage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Injured teeth are more likely to worsen the longer you wait to treat them. Decayed enamel is more likely to sustain additional harm, and it also makes it easier for unhealthy bacteria in your mouth to penetrate your teeth. This can cause infection, pain, or other issues that may require more complex or costly treatments you could have avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A dental crown is the standard way to protect damaged enamel, but a dental lab may take a couple of weeks to deliver a well-made, custom-fitted restoration. Contact your dentist sooner rather than later so they can start the process now, before your tooth is damaged further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #2: Enjoy Usual Holiday Traditions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fall has arrived, and if you\u2019re like many other patients, you\u2019re looking forward to the usual end-of-year traditions with family and friends. But an injured tooth can make it hard or impossible to enjoy your favorite foods, talk with others, or smile confidently for photos at memory-making events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visiting your dentist before the holidays gives them time to fit you with a completely customized dental crown so that you can continue using your tooth normally. These restorations are made from resilient, tooth-colored ceramic that can be made to match your natural enamel. It blends in seamlessly as a result and resists chips, cracks, and stains to improve your looks and protect your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #3: Make the Most of Dental Insurance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many patients worry about the cost of a dental crown, but dental insurance policies often cover at least part of major procedures such as this. But they also often have an annual deductible you must pay, along with other restrictions, like a mandatory waiting period, before benefits apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most plans restart on January 1<sup>st<\/sup>, so by autumn, you\u2019ve had plenty of time to meet these criteria. That makes this an ideal time of year to contact your dentist about getting fitted with a dental crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re unsure whether you\u2019re a good candidate for this treatment, you can learn more by scheduling an appointment with your provider!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Patients at Beck Dental Care of Columbia benefit from a team of dental experts who are passionate about helping families and individuals build and maintain healthy teeth and gums.
