To help you decide on what’s best for you and your family, consider the following information about in-network and out-of-network insurance coverage:
In-network – If a dentist signs a contract with certain insurance companies, those insurance companies then control what the dentist can charge for the dental services they provide. This typically means that the in-network dentist will charge a lower price for dental work. Sounds good, right? The issue with in-network charges is that the dentist may attempt to see many more patients to make up the difference, and the quality of your treatment could suffer. This may compromise treatment or compromise the quality of materials used during your treatment for things like materials, instruments, labs, etc.
Out-of-network – If you choose an out-of-network dentist, they still file with your insurance company, but they can set their own prices and offer treatments and services that your insurance company may deny. In short, the quality of your dental care could likely improve with an out-of-network provider. Also, your insurance company may pay an out-of-network dentist nearly the same amount as an in-network dentist. It’s certainly worth checking!

Regular dental visits are essential for maintaining a healthy smile and preventing oral health issues like gum disease or tooth decay. The general recommendation is to visit your dentist in South Charlotte every six months for a routine checkup and professional cleaning. However, individual needs may vary based on factors like oral health, lifestyle, and existing dental conditions.
For most patients, biannual visits help detect early signs of cavities, gum disease, and other dental concerns before they become more serious. Our team provides professional dental cleanings to remove plaque and tartar buildup that you can’t remove at home with daily brushing and flossing.
Some individuals—such as those with gum disease, a history of frequent cavities, or ongoing dental treatments—may need more frequent visits. Our South Charlotte dental office can provide a personalized recommendation based on your specific oral health needs.
Skipping regular checkups can lead to costly and more extensive treatments later on. So, by focusing on routine dental care and making it a priority, you can enjoy a happy, healthy smile for years to come.
