If you want to make the most of your dental insurance benefits, you’ve got to use them before you lose them! Especially at this time of year since calendar plans will run out on December 31st.
How Dental Insurance Works
Most dental insurance plans allow for a yearly maximum of dollars they will pay for your dental treatment. This typically ranges from $1000 to $2000. If your plan runs on the calendar year, unfortunately, your unused benefit dollars expire and don’t roll over to the next year. Hence, it’s important to use them now, before the end of the year, especially if you need treatment or haven’t had two preventive teeth cleanings or checkups yet.
You could save money by scheduling your treatment or preventive care before the end of the year!
Why Are Preventive Appointments So Important?
Preventive teeth cleanings and checkups are some of the best ways to protect your dental health and budget!
Routine dental visits every six months protect your dental health because we can identify potential problems early when they’re easier and less expensive to treat.
They protect your budget because spotting problems early on means less invasive and costly procedures. Most dental plans also cover the cost of preventive care, which means less out-of-pocket expense for you and your family.
Save Money on Much-Needed Dental Treatment
Maximizing your dental benefits means you could pay less for the needed treatment. Most dental insurance plans cover a percentage of treatment costs for fillings or crowns, so don’t let that money slip away!
Many patients have already paid their deductible at this time of year if they have one, which also means less out-of-pocket expense.
