You know you’re heading into the end of the year when you realize Thanksgiving is here! Don’t lose the dental benefits you’ve paid for all year. There are only

a few weeks left to schedule your family’s dental cleanings and check-ups this fall. To commemorate the holiday, 7to7 Dental & Orthodontics will continues their tradition of

providing turkeys so families served by SAMMinistries can have a happy Thanksgiving. They’ll add another 125 this year, raising their contribution to more than 500 overall.

“I thought it would be meaningful to donate turkeys because they are a more costly item, and you can’t really have Thanksgiving without one,” said Director of Marketing Travis DeZuba. “I’ve always loved serving the community, and 7to7 Dental sees the bigger picture of contributing as a business. The reason they went into

practice was ultimately to take care of people.”

7to7 Dental’s Stone Oak office, located at the corner of Stone Oak Parkway and Evans Road, is open from 7a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m., Saturday and Sunday. While they are not open Thanksgiving Day, the extended time off is a great opportunity to get your family in for an appointment – especially the older kids home from college. An added incentive, 7to7 Dental provides trays and a free tube of whitening gel to patients with each cleaning – just in time to shine up your smile before holiday gatherings begin in earnest.

If you don’t have a dental plan because you might have missed an employer’s enrollment period or started a new job, you can sign up for one of 7to7 Dental’s membership plans and be treated immediately. “Coverage starts when you are ready and continues for a year from that date,” Travis said. “There’s no waiting period or annual maximum. You can come in and be seen right away.”

7to7 Dental offers three plans to meet any family’s budget and needs. Each covers cleanings as well as X-rays, fillings, extractions, crowns, and implants. The Platinum plan includes a 10% discount on orthodontics, a savings that virtually covers the cost of the plan if a family member needs braces or Invisalign. Plans range from $20.99-$49.99/month, depending on level of coverage desired. Monthly payments in digestible amounts are easy.

Discounts accrue as multiple family members enroll. 7to7 Dental’s plans never require a deductible, so there’s not any additional out-of-pocket cost. Businesses looking to provide a benefit option to attract or retain employees without incurring

additional expense can sign up for an employee discount to 7to7’s membership plan. Offering the plan is free to the employer, simply signing up qualifies employees for a 10% discount. Contact Travis at DentalCoverage@7to7Dental.com to assess the value of 7to7 Dental’s plan.
