🦷 Don’t Lose Your Dental Benefits: Use Them Before They Expire!

📆 It’s September—Have You Used Your Dental Insurance Benefits?

Many people don’t realize that most dental insurance plans reset every year on December 31st. That means unused benefits are lost—even though you’ve paid for them all year.

At Bear Coast Dentistry in Mission Viejo, we want to help you get the most out of your dental insurance in2025 before time runs out. September is the perfect time to schedule any overdue treatments or preventive care!

💸 What Happens to Unused Dental Benefits?

Most dental plans include:

• Two cleanings per year
• A set amount of preventive or restorative coverage
• Annual maximums that typically range from $1,000–$2,000

If you don’t use those benefits, you won’t get reimbursed or credited—they simply expire at the end of the year.

✅Smart Ways to Use Your 2025 Dental Benefits

1. Schedule Your Second Cleaning
Most insurance plans cover two cleanings per year. If you haven’t had your second cleaning yet, now’s the time to schedule it.

2. Finish Outstanding Treatments
Have you postponed getting a crown, filling, or deep cleaning? Completing treatment before December helps you use this year’s benefits—and avoid paying out-of-pocket next year.

3. Start Larger Treatments Now
If you need dental work that spans multiple visits (e.g., root canals, implants), starting in September lets you split costs across two benefit years—saving you money.

4. Use Your FSA or HSA
If you have a Flexible Spending Account, use those funds for eligible dental treatments before they expire too!

🦷Why Preventive Care Saves You Money

Regular dental checkups and cleanings help you:

• Catch cavities or gum issues early
• Avoid painful and expensive emergencies
• Keep your smile looking and feeling great

Most insurance plans fully cover preventive visits, so you’re likely already paying for them—use it or lose it!
