As the year moves toward its final months, it’s a great time to check in on your dental insurance benefits. Many plans reset annually, meaning unused coverage for preventive care, treatments, or procedures may not roll over to the next year. Taking action now can help you make the most of your benefits while avoiding a last-minute rush.
Why Use Your Benefits Now?
Most dental insurance plans include coverage for routine care like exams, cleanings, and X-rays. They may also contribute to restorative treatments such as fillings, crowns, or periodontal care. These benefits are designed to help you maintain good oral health year-round, but they often expire at the end of the plan cycle.
By scheduling your care in September or October, you can:
- Prevent minor issues from becoming bigger problems
- Avoid the year-end scheduling rush
- Complete treatments before deductibles reset
Plan Ahead for Major Treatments
If you’ve been considering restorative or cosmetic work that also supports your oral health, now is an ideal time to start. Spacing out treatments over the remaining months can help you maximize insurance coverage while spreading costs over two benefit periods, if your treatment extends into the new year.
Preventive Care Matters Most
Even if your smile feels healthy, routine cleanings and checkups are your first line of defense. They help prevent decay, catch small issues early, and protect your overall health. For many patients, these services are fully or mostly covered by insurance.
As the year winds down, appointment availability becomes limited. Families tend to book visits around school breaks and holidays, which can make it harder to secure the time you want. Planning ahead now ensures you have flexibility and peace of mind.
