March 22, 2016

Advanced Dental Care is your Costa Mesa Emergency Dentist

We’re here when you need us most.  Emergency Dentist on call 24/7.

There are a lot of factors that affect oral health such as hygiene, diet, exercise, and genetics.  Some people brush and floss religiously and still have tooth decay, while others don’t brush at all and have no decay.  It’s good to know which person you are so you can do what’s best for you!  Maintaining good Advanced Dental Care - Emergency Dentist in Costa Mesa, Orange County

With dental care, decay and infection rarely just go away on their own, but early detection can treat these conditions before they become painful and expensive.  Of course, we will be here at 3:00am on a Tuesday or 8:00am on a Sunday should you ever need us, but we prefer not to see you in pain! We’re not your typical 9 to 5 dental office, we are your emergency dentist, here when you need us most!

Understanding Your Explanation of Benefits (EOB)

Costa Mesa Dentist talks understanding your explanation of benefits (EOB)

We accept all PPO insurances at Advanced Dental Care!  If you are using dental insurance at your dental visits, you will receive an Explanation of Benefits or EOB either by mail or email shortly after your visit.  EOBs can be confusing, because they look a lot like invoices (and nobody likes invoices!).  An EOB is provided to patients covered by insurance to explain what services were rendered by a provider and what the insurance company paid for on behalf of the patient.

Learning how to read EOBs is very useful to making sure you are aware of what your insurance company covers for you and instances where they did not pay for a service.  A standard dental EOB will have the subscriber’s name, the patient’s name, your member ID, and the claim number.  It is important to make sure that your information is correct so there are no mix-ups with another patient.
