Dentist In Anchorage Advises Patients To Check New And Recurring Dental Insurance Policies

Anchorage, AK, Healthy Smiles Dental, a well-established practice for comprehensive, high quality cosmetic and dental care, has issued a public advisory reminding everyone with new dental insurance policies and annual renewals to contact their dental provider to check whether their plans now have different benefits. New health plans are often subject to updated benefits and details.

“At Healthy Smiles Dental, we can help patients find out if their insurance has changed, and offer an alternative at an affordable price on our Healthy Smiles Dental Membership plan,” said Dr. Terry J. Preece, Healthy Smiles Dental. The Membership Plan includes cleanings, exams, and routine x-rays. It comes with 100% price transparency and no deductibles, waiting periods, annual maximums, denials of claims or pre-approvals, and can at the very least take toothaches off a patient’s long list of insurance headaches.

Dr. Preece, who has over 35 years of experience in the field, and his dedicated team provide high quality dental care for both adults and children. Healthy Smiles Dental serves Anchorage and Eagle River Alaska, providing cosmetic dentistry, comprehensive dentistry, teeth whitening, and sedation dentistry.

Sonja J. gave Healthy Smiles Dental a 5-Star Review: “I hadn’t been to a dentist in almost 15 years and was very nervous. Dr. Preece and his staff did an excellent job making me feel comfortable. They are very professional and kind, and I will definitely be back again.”

It is estimated that over 75% of adults in America experience some amount of fear when it comes to visiting a dentist. Sedation dentistry comes in many forms and can help patients receive the dental care they need or desire in a comfortable manner. Healthy Smiles Dental offer three forms of sedation dentistry including Nitrous Oxide Gas (laughing gas, happy air, etc.), Oral Conscious Sedation, and IV Sedation (parenteral sedation).

Jay R. gave Healthy Smiles Dental a 5-Star review as well: “Great experience, was a little nervous but the dentist and assistant were great during my root canal procedure. I went in expecting to have to deal with a lot of pain both during and after my appointment, but it turned out my imagination was worse than the experience itself. All things considered, I feel great.”

“Over 40% Americans have reported that they don’t see their dentist even once a year, waiting until they have a problem which can’t be ignored,” said Dr. Preece. However, annual dental visits should not be made a priority just for keeping teeth white, but to help prevent heart attacks and strokes. The American Dental Association recommends seeing a dentist and dental hygienist at least two times each year in order to maintain optimal health and tooth hygiene.

Loric V. also gave Healthy Smiles Dental a 5-Star review: “I had a major toothache that flared up and kept me awake well into the night. I left a message with the voicemail at the clinic. Debbie called me in the morning and had me in the office within a couple of hours. The entire staff was friendly, fast, and thorough. I highly recommend Dr. Preece and his staff!”

Most people know that brushing their teeth twice a day, flossing, and eating a healthy diet along with attending regular dental checkups are good things to do. The issue is that between living their busy lives and seeing to a long list of things that must be done, their dental appointment gets shunted to the bottom of their to-do list. Over time, stains from food, coffee, and other habits like smoking can take the shine off a bright smile. “Healthy Smiles Dental wants all their patients to get the smiling, healthy confidence they seek at the greatest level of comfort possible,” stated Dr. Preece.
