It\u2019s important to first find a dentist that takes your insurance if you do have dental insurance. But, if you don\u2019t, you don\u2019t have to worry about missing critical dental appointments any longer. Longmont Complete Dentistry offers a variety of helpful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.longmontcompletedentistry.com\/new-patients.html\">new patient information<\/a> on our website from patient specials, documents that you\u2019ll need, and financing options to receive the dental care you need.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>The Dental Healthcare Deficit<\/h2>\n<p>Believe it or not, more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/feature\/in-plain-sight\/bad-teeth-broken-dreams-lack-dental-care-keeps-many-out-v18906511\" target=\"_blank\">47 million people<\/a> in the United States have a hard time finding access to dental care according to the Federal Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). Low-income adults are almost twice as likely to have no daycare than those of middle or higher paying jobs. The Provisions of the Affordable Care Act made steps in the right direction in 2014, but did not solve the problem, allowing children to receive dental care but not adults. With that being said, more and more adults are suffering from dental problems like missing teeth, discolored smiles, and other damage that\u2019s caused by neglect.<\/p>\n<h2>Patients Need a Pretty Smile to Land a Job!<\/h2>\n<p>What makes this all worse? The people of the United States put a lot of weight on a beautiful smile\u2014including employers. Most people make instant judgments based on appearance meaning they\u2019ll look straight to someone\u2019s smile and teeth. \u201cIf you want to portray someone as being wicked, they have missing front teeth. If they\u2019re ignorant, they have buck teeth,\u201d said Lindsey Robinson, a dentist, and president of the California Dental Association. These social views can influence employers to surpass potential assets because of a crooked, flawed smile. Imagine not being able to find a job period, let alone one that provides dental benefits. You\u2019ll never get the dental work you need!<\/p>\n<h2>New Patient Specials<\/h2>\n<p>In most cases, patients need their semiannual checkups. These appointments every 6 months include a dental exam that includes digital x-rays, professional cleaning, and custom dental plan for further treatments. For a limited time, you can receive both the dental exam and digital x-rays for just $55! This is a great way to figure out if you need more dental work in the near future. You can click here for a new patient appointment with your discount. When you receive a dental exam and x-rays, your Longmont dentist is able to keep an eye out for oral cancer, occlusion issues, and other dental problems.<\/p>\n<h2>Financial Options<\/h2>\n<p>Longmont Family Dentistry works hand in hand with a variety of dental insurance plans so any one can receive dental care.
