Don’t let your benefits expire!
Your dental insurance policy allows for a certain dollar amount of coverage to be provided each year. If your maximum coverage benefit is not used during the year, you lose those dental benefits, because unused coverage does not carry over to the next year.
Although treatment is never dictated by an insurance policy, our experience has shown that careful planning can help to maximize benefits. Most dental plans allow teeth cleanings two times a year. You may also participate in Flexible Spending (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) in order to offset your out of pocket care costs. In most cases, any money left in those accounts at the end of the year is forfeit if it hasn’t been used.
If you haven’t maxed out your dental insurance benefits for the year, or you have FSA or HSA benefits to use, we encourage you to make an appointment before the end of the year. Contact us if you are due for a cleaning, have dental treatment pending, or wish to schedule dental treatment. One of our friendly team members will be happy to check the status of your dental benefits and ensure that you are maximizing their use.
Your dental benefits can be put toward preventative care, cosmetic dentistry such as crowns, fillings or veneers, even reconstructive treatment, including dental implant restorations. We are happy to work with you to get you the care you need.
