Common Dental Injuries and Emergency Care

Chipped Tooth Repair: One of the most frequent injuries we treat is a chipped tooth. If the damage is minor, we can often use advanced dental bonding materials to restore the tooth’s appearance and function without a crown. For more severe fractures, a root canal or crown may be necessary to protect the tooth.

Knocked-Out Tooth: If a tooth is knocked out, time is of the essence. Immediately try to place the tooth back in the socket. If that isn’t possible, keep the tooth moist in milk, saline, or saliva and contact our Leesburg dental office immediately. A tooth replaced within the hour has the highest chance of lasting a lifetime.

Regardless of the injury, you should have a dentist examine the site to check for internal damage. Please do not hesitate to contact us after hours for any urgent dental care needs.

Important Facts About Dental Insurance

Understanding how dental insurance benefits work helps you make the best decisions for your health. Here is what you should know:

Insurance Claims Review: Most claims are processed by specialists based on your employer’s plan provisions, not by a dentist. Insurance companies often “downgrade” treatments to the most economical option rather than the highest quality option. We focus on what is best for your health, regardless of insurance limitations.

Static Benefit Levels: While medical benefits have increased over the decades, dental insurance maximums have remained stagnant (around $1,000–$1,500) since the 1970s. Because of inflation, dental insurance should be viewed as a supplement rather than a total payment solution.

Usual and Customary Fees: If an insurance company claims a fee is “higher than customary,” it is based on an average that includes discount clinics. High-quality private practices in Lake County typically have fees that reflect superior materials and personalized care.

Coverage Limits: Most plans do not cover 100% of major services. Realistic coverage for major dental work usually ranges from 35% to 65% up to your annual maximum. Your specific reimbursement is determined by the plan your employer has purchased.
