We’re almost to the end of 2024, and most dental insurance benefits don’t roll over into 2025. So if you don’t use your benefits before the end of your plan year, you risk losing them entirely. Taking advantage of your dental insurance benefits before they expire is not only financially wise but also a great way to prioritize your oral health.
Why Use Your Benefits Now?
If you haven’t yet reached your maximum insurance limit, any unused portion of your benefits will vanish when the year ends. Don’t leave money on the table that can otherwise help you maintain or improve your dental health.
Additionally, many insurance plans include preventive care such as cleanings, exams, and X-rays at little to no cost to you. Scheduling these services before year-end can help detect and address potential dental issues early, saving you from more costly and extensive procedures later.
Common Treatments to Schedule Before Year-End
- Routine Cleanings and Exams: Preventive care is often fully covered, so don’t forget your annual checkups.
- Cavity Fillings: If you’ve been putting off a filling, now is the time to use your benefits.
- Crowns or Bridges: Major treatments can be costly, but using your benefits can significantly reduce out-of-pocket expenses.
- Orthodontics and Periodontal Care: Many plans cover portions of these treatments, so take advantage if applicable.
