Most Medicare participants don't understand benefits don't include routine, preventive dental procedures critical to longevity and overall health. Currently, Medicare benefits only apply to surgical dental procedures carried out in hospitals. As a result, seniors must either pay for dental services completely out-of-pocket or try to find a Medicare supplement that provides high-quality, affordable and accessible dental care.
Unfortunately, most Medicare dental supplements are low-cost and poorly designed with very limited networks of inexperienced dentists.
"We see the challenges seniors face, but we offer our in-house loyalty membership plan at a rate they can afford," commented Dr. Publio Silfa at Silfa Dental. He continued, "Our Plan provides friendly, personalized care at a consistent, monthly or annual fee."
Furthermore, the negative impact of poor dental care on the overall health of seniors can be significant. A range of statistics tell the story:
Only 29% of seniors have dental coverage.
Those with 20 or more teeth at age 70 are significantly more likely to have a longer lifespan than those with fewer teeth.
70% of adults over the age of 65 have advanced periodontitis, which is the leading cause of adult tooth loss and a disease strongly linked to heart disease, Alzheimer's, diabetes, and other serious conditions.
In addition to fighting oral health problems, ease of use and enrollment are two of the most significant benefits. Other facts to know about the basic membership plan with Silfa Dental include:
Three cleanings, X-rays, and checkups are covered.
Benefits are available immediately without any waiting period.
Restorative and preventive services are discounted 10%.
As seniors consider the benefits of the membership plan at Silfa Dental, remember open enrollment for Medicare ends December 7, 2024. This is the time to drop an existing dental supplement that is not working and to enroll in a better form of coverage. Contact Silfa Dental online or call 631-651-1322 to learn more.
