BABY TEETH MAY BE TEMPORARY, but they’re certainly not “practice teeth.” Your child’s early dental care is so incredibly important! Did you know that your child could be seen at a dentist as early as 12-18 months? That’s why at Lane & Associates we will soon start offering Baby’s First Dental Visits! 

Baby Teeth Are Essential To Future Development

Baby teeth perform many functions, including:

  • Ensuring proper nutrition through chewing and eating
  • Aiding in speech development
  • Holding suitable space for permanent teeth to come in even and healthy
  • Creating the groundwork for good dental habits

 

We’re Experienced Working With Children

Since our launch of our Child’s First Dental Visit program in 2017, there has been an even greater desire from parents to have a ‘Baby’s First Visit’ option. You asked and we listened! Our Baby First Visit Kits will come with a special baby “toothbrush” that they can hold themselves, a cuddly teddy bear, and a free “First Dental Visit” zipper bag!

Our dentists who specialize in Baby Oral Exams are experts when it comes to your child’s dental health. Utilizing training from programs such as BOHP (Baby Oral Health Program) allows our offices to answer any questions you may have about your child’s oral health.

Let Us Know If You Ever Have Questions

We want to be your go-to resource whenever you have questions about your family’s dental care. We look forward to seeing you and your child soon!

IF YOU WANTED TO STRAIGHTEN your teeth back in the day, you really only had one option–traditional metal braces. Nowadays, our patients have a variety of different options when it comes to how they would like to have their teeth straightened and what is most convenient for them. At our office, we offer Invisalign®!

Invisalign Treatment Provides Many Benefits


Not everyone is a good candidate for Invisalign, but if you are, it may be a great option to achieve your dream smile!

As the name implies, Invisalign trays are nearly invisible, allowing you to go throughout your daily activities with most people being unaware that you are undergoing orthodontic treatment! The aligners are custom-made for you, ensuring a perfect, comfortable fit.

Of course one of the best perks of choosing Invisalign is being able to eat whatever you want! Because you can take your aligners off while eating and drinking, you don’t have to worry about staying away from the foods that you love. Invisalign trays also don’t affect your oral hygiene routine as traditional braces do. You can brush and floss as you normally would!

You also won’t have to worry about getting used to metal brackets that may cut into your cheeks and lips at the beginning of treatment or during sporting events. With Invisalign, you don’t have to sacrifice comfort to get the smile you’ve always wanted.

As an Invisalign patient, you’ll generally have fewer office visits than those with traditional braces. So if you have a busy schedule but still want to improve your smile, Invisalign might be just the thing for you!

Many of our patients tell us that Invisalign is the best choice they’ve ever made when it comes to improving their smile & confidence in a quiet way. Many adult patients say that since the trays are removable they can confidently change their smile over time without feeling like they have to miss that board meeting where they are giving a presentation. The stigma associated with metal braces is completely avoidable with Invisalign clear aligners.

 

Comparing the cost of Invisalign to traditional metal braces also weighs heavily on patients. The idea of Invisalign treatment being unaffordable is in the past with new payment plan options and many insurance companies allowing a portion of coverage for cosmetic adjustments.

Our offices offer FREE Invisalign consultations, so if you are on the fence about Invisalign there is no reason not to come in to talk to our dentists and orthodontists today. Why wait?!

We want your treatment to reflect your unique smile, lifestyle, and personality. Call us today to discuss any questions you might have about Invisalign! At Lane & Associates Family Dentistry, we love to make you smile!

ANOTHER YEAR IS COMING to a close, and that means another year of insurance benefits is about to expire. If you haven’t taken advantage of your dental insurance yet, that’s okay, but the year is almost over, so the time to use them is now. To help you prepare, we’ve put together some information about how dental insurance works at our practice.

Dental Insurance And Treatment

At our practice, typically partial or complete coverage is offered for elective procedures. Depending on what insurance you have coverage will vary. If your insurance is In-network with our practice, we will accept and file your insurance for you. Major medical insurance plans do not typically include dental coverage. It is most often a supplemental plan that you need to purchase separately.

 

Do You Have Compatible Insurance?

Lane & Associates accepts over 18 Dental Insurance providers. Please see the complete list on our Insurance page to find out more. To ask more questions about your coverage, please reach out to our patient services representative to discuss your options by emailing us at info@lanedds.com. Please have your insurance card ready so that we can give you an estimate over the phone.

Getting Everything Done On Time

In order to utilize your benefits before the end of the year our offices recommend making an appointment before December 20th. Typically appointments fill up at the end of the year due to insurance benefits and Holidays. Our offices will be closed on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Years Day so the last day of the year you can make an appointment will be on the 31st of December. We recommend coming in much sooner so your insurance company can process your benefits in a timely manner.

If It’s Been A While, Let’s Chat!

If you have more questions regarding your insurance and how to use it, just stop by! We can answer all the questions you have and get you on the right path to affordable dental treatment! And even if your dental insurance doesn’t cover certain procedures, you should still schedule an appointment with your dentist to make the most of your benefits.

Take advantage of those benefits while there’s still time! Schedule your appointment at Lane & Associates today.
