December is here, and the clock is ticking to make the most of your 2024 dental insurance benefits before they expire. Most insurance plans operate on a calendar basis, so you have up to January 1 to use them. Don’t let this opportunity pass you by—schedule your appointment today and take full advantage of the coverage you’ve already paid for.
Why December Is the Perfect Time
If you’ve been putting off dental care, this is your last chance to use your benefits for the year. Whether it’s a routine cleaning, filling a cavity, or completing a crown, acting now can save you money and improve your oral health. Many insurance plans cover preventive care such as cleanings and exams at 100%, making December the ideal time to catch up on overdue appointments.
If you have already reached your deductible for the year, additional treatments may be covered at a reduced cost—or even fully covered—by your insurance plan. Waiting until January means starting over with a new deductible, which can increase your out-of-pocket expenses.
Treatments to Consider Before Year-End
- Cleanings and Exams: Preventive visits are generally covered and can help find and treat issues early.
- Cavity Fillings: Addressing decay now prevents more extensive (and expensive) treatments in the future.
- Crowns, Bridges, or Veneers: Major treatments can be partially covered, making now the best time to start or complete these procedures.
- Orthodontics: Some plans offer benefits for braces or aligners—use them before they expire.
- Periodontal Treatments: Address gum health issues now to potentially more serious conditions.
