Dental Insurance Benefits: Use Them Before You Lose Them!

Did you know that your dental insurance benefits are a “use it or lose it” deal? Every year, millions of dollars in unused benefits are left on the table simply because people didn’t schedule their appointments in time. If you’ve been putting off dental care, now’s the perfect time to make the most of your benefits and head into the new year with a healthier, happier smile.

Why Year-End Dental Care Matters

Dental insurance benefits typically include an annual maximum—an amount your insurance will pay for your dental care within a calendar year. If you haven’t reached that maximum, any unused funds will expire at the end of the year. That’s money you’ve essentially paid for through premiums, so why let it go to waste? Whether it’s preventive care or a necessary treatment you’ve been putting off, using your benefits now can save you money and protect your oral health.

Take Advantage of Preventive Care

Most plans fully cover preventive care like cleanings and exams, so taking advantage of these services before December 31 is a no-brainer. Even if your teeth feel fine, small problems like early-stage cavities or gum inflammation can be treated quickly before they become major concerns. Think of it as an investment in your future smile. Plus, a professional cleaning is the perfect way to enter the new year with a fresh, healthy smile.

Plan Ahead for Larger Treatments

If you’re facing a major dental procedure, like a root canal or dental implants, planning your treatment strategically can help you save. Starting part of the procedure before the end of the year and finishing it in the new year can spread out the cost, allowing you to take advantage of benefits from two plan years. This approach can make bigger treatments more manageable and budget-friendly.
