That makes it a lot more likely that they\u2019ll only see a dentist in Farmington when they\u2019re in pain, which is far from ideal. Routine dental care is a much\u00a0better approach because it <em>prevents <\/em>dental problems, which is easier and less expensive than treating them. At Monet Aesthetic Dentistry, we\u2019ve set out to make dental care (both routine and otherwise) more affordable for everyone by creating an in-house discount plan. Learn more about the plan and how preventative care benefits you below!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>The Importance of Preventative Care<\/h2>\n<p>Here are just some of the ways regular checkups and cleanings keep your smile healthy and prevent the need for dental work over the long-term:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Keeps your gums healthy<\/strong>\u2013 Gum disease not only causes tooth loss but also increases your risk of serious conditions like heart disease, stroke and Alzheimer\u2019s. With regular cleanings, which include an annual gum exam, you can prevent gum disease altogether or at least manage it so it doesn\u2019t progress.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Helps you avoid emergencies <\/strong>\u2013 When Dr. Metzger is regularly monitoring your oral health, she can spot potential issues and treat them before they turn into an emergency situation. This prevents you from experiencing the pain and hassle of dental problems at inconvenient times like a vacation or a busy work week.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Minimizes big procedures <\/strong>\u2013Many people don\u2019t feel a cavity until it\u2019s large enough that it\u2019s gotten close to the nerve of the tooth. At that point, it often needs to be repaired with a dental crown (and possibly a root canal) instead of a small filling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Who Can Benefit From the Discount Plan?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Anyone who wants to save money on their dental bills.<\/li>\n<li>People with insurance who feel like they\u2019re paying too much for their premiums without getting great benefits.<\/li>\n<li>People who will be losing their dental insurance after retirement or when their employer stops offering it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How Does It Work?<\/h2>\n<p>We offer a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drlmetzger.com\/in-house-benefits.html\">discount plan<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0for both children and adults, and it couldn\u2019t be easier to get started. You simply fill out an application and pay a one-time annual fee per person: $259 for adults and $159 for children. Here\u2019s what\u2019s included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Two checkups per year (this includes your exam, cleaning, X-rays, and a professional fluoride treatment to prevent cavities)<\/li>\n<li>30% off all other services<\/li>\n<li>Emergency exams with the necessary X-rays<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Everyone deserves a healthy smile, whether they have insurance or not. With our discount plan, you and your loved ones can get the high-quality dentistry you need, without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drlmetzger.com\/meet-the-doctor.html\">Dr. Leslie Metzger<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0is a family dentist in Farmington and a graduate of the Ohio State University College of Dentistry.
