Use Your Dental Benefits Before the Year Ends

As the year winds down, your calendar isn’t the only thing resetting; your dental insurance benefits likely are too. At Clarksburg Dental Center, we want to help you make the most of the coverage you’ve already paid for. Don’t let your benefits go to waste, schedule your appointment before the clock runs out!

Don’t Let Your Dental Benefits Go Unused

Most Insurance Plans Reset Annually

Most dental insurance plans operate on a calendar-year basis, meaning your annual benefits reset every January 1st. If you haven’t used your full allotment of coverage this year, you may be leaving valuable care and money on the table.

What Happens to Unused Coverage? It Disappears!

Unused benefits don’t roll over. Whether it’s $50 or $500 in unused coverage, it vanishes at midnight on December 31st. That’s your money, and you deserve to use it on the care you need now—not later.

Maximize What You’re Already Paying For

You pay for dental insurance to protect your oral health, so let it work for you! Scheduling preventive visits or completing outstanding treatments now helps you avoid costlier procedures in the future and takes advantage of coverage you’ve earned.

Common Services Covered Under Most Dental Plans

• Preventive Care (Cleanings, Exams, X-Rays)

Most plans cover two professional cleanings and exams each year, often at no out-of-pocket cost to you. If you’ve skipped one or haven’t been in this year at all, now’s the time to schedule.

• Fillings, Crowns, and Restorative Treatments

If you’ve been putting off a filling or a crown, using your benefits now can reduce what you owe. Waiting may push those treatments into the next year and into next year’s deductible.

• Periodontal Cleanings and Other Eligible Procedures

Have gum disease or require ongoing periodontal maintenance? These visits are typically covered on a regular schedule. Don’t miss out; these treatments help prevent long-term damage.

Why Late Fall is the Perfect Time to Schedule

• Beat the End-of-Year Rush

Many patients realize their benefits are about to expire and scramble to get appointments in December. By scheduling in late fall, you avoid the year-end rush and secure the time slot that works best for you.

• Time for Follow-Ups or Multi-Visit Treatments

Some dental work requires more than one visit. Starting now ensures you’ll have time to finish treatments before your benefits reset.

• Convenient Scheduling Around School and Holidays

Fall break, long weekends, or early dismissals? These make great opportunities to bring the kids in for their checkups without disrupting the school year or your workday.
