The "Best" Dental Insurance

Thanks to dental insurance, millions of people visit their dentist office on a regular basis for routine exams and cleanings. But what about the 45 million people who don't have dental insurance?

Does dental care become less important if you are uninsured, under-insured, or if you've exhausted your annual dental insurance benefits? ABSOLUTELY NOT!

Left untreated-decay, gum disease and related health problems get worse whether or not you have insurance.

Many people share a common misconception that dental insurance will pay 100% of their dental work. The truth is, even the best of dental plans available cover only a portion of your dental care-even if it's necessary!

Dental insurance carriers usually pay only a percentage of what they consider "usual and customary" fees.

Who do you want to be in control here? You, Dr. Drew, & his trusted staff, or your insurance company?

It really helps to understand what your dental coverage is and what it is not.

Remember, your dental insurance plan is not to be mistaken for your dental treatment plan. Your treatment plan is the one that ensures you the whitest, brightest, and healthiest smile possible!

If you have any questions regarding dental insurances, please call our office and talk to our insurance experts, Trish and Melissa, and they will be more than happy to help in any way!

The "First" Dentist

Most people don't realize that the White House has a one-chair dental clinic located in the basement. It is used to treat the U.S. President, the first family, and the vice president and his family.

When President George W. Bush was in office, his dentist's name was Dr.Paul Wiley DDS. After 8 months of background checks, Dr.Wiley received clearance in 1992 to become the new navy dentist to the President.

The dentist to the president works in a small, one-chair operatory located in the sub-basement of the White House. They have one or two dental assistants they can appoint pending clearance by the same extensive background check. The dentist is on 24-hour call for their duties at the White House, but generally visits the clinic three to four times a month.
