Don’t Let Your Dental Insurance Go to Waste: How to Use It Before Year-End

As the end of the year approaches, it’s crucial to make sure you’re getting the most out of your dental insurance benefits. Many plans operate on a "Use it or lose it" policy, which means any benefits you don’t use by the end of the year will be lost. Don’t let your hard-earned benefits go to waste! Here’s how to maximize your dental insurance before the year ends.

Schedule Your Checkup and Cleaning

Act now to keep your smile healthy! Dental insurance often covers routine preventive care, including checkups and cleanings. These dental visits are essential for maintaining good oral health and catching any potential issues before they become serious problems.

  • Preventive Care: Most plans cover at least two cleanings per year. If you haven’t used up these benefits, now is the time to schedule your appointments.
  • Early Detection: Regular checkups help detect dental issues on time, potentially saving you from more extensive and costly treatments later on.

By scheduling these appointments now, you’ll make sure you’re using your benefits to their fullest.

Take Advantage of Coverage for Major Treatments

If you’ve been postponing any major dental procedures, such as fillings, crowns, or root canals, the end of the year is the perfect time to act. Dental insurance often covers a significant portion of these procedures.

  • Maximize Your Benefits: If you have any outstanding treatment needs, use your remaining insurance benefits before they reset.
  • Reduce Out-of-Pocket Costs: By taking advantage of your insurance coverage now, you can reduce your out-of-pocket expenses for necessary dental work.

Don’t let these benefits go to waste. Addressing your dental needs before the year ends can save you money and ensure your oral health remains in top condition.

Review Your Insurance Benefits

Before scheduling any treatments, take a moment to review your dental insurance benefits. Understanding what’s covered and any limitations will help you make the most informed decisions about your care.

  • Annual Maximums: Check how much of your annual maximum benefit you have used and how much remains. This information is crucial for planning your remaining dental visits.
  • Coverage Details: Look into what treatments are covered under your plan and any specific requirements for claims or approvals.

By understanding your benefits, you can better plan your appointments and ensure you’re not missing out on any covered services.

Use Your Dental Savers Plan

If you don’t have dental insurance, our Dental Savers Plan is an excellent alternative. It provides discounts on a range of dental treatments, particularly preventive care, with no yearly maximums or claim denials.

Benefits of the Dental Savers Plan include:

  • No Yearly Maximums: Unlike traditional insurance, there are no caps on how much you can use with our Dental Savers Plan.
  • Immediate Benefits: Start using your plan benefits right away with no waiting periods, ensuring you get the care you need without delay.
  • Comprehensive Coverage: Enjoy two free cleanings annually, unlimited free exams, and x-rays, along with discounts on other services.

Our Dental Savers Plan is designed to make dental care more affordable and accessible, even if you don’t have traditional insurance.

Don’t Delay!

The end of the year is fast approaching, and dental insurance benefits typically reset at the start of the new year. If you don’t use your benefits, they will be lost.

  • Act Now: Don’t wait until the last minute. Schedule your appointments and use your benefits before they expire.
  • Avoid Missing Out: Ensure you’re not leaving any of your benefits unused by taking action now.

By planning ahead and using your insurance benefits before the year ends, you can save money and maintain optimal oral health.
