Maximizing 2024 Dental Benefits at 7 to 7 Dental
As the year draws to a close, it’s time to take stock of your dental health and insurance benefits. Many dental insurance plans operate on a calendar year, meaning any unused benefits won’t roll over into the new year. If you don’t use them, you lose them—and that’s like tossing money, and your smile’s health, straight into the trash. At 7 to 7 Dental, we’re here to help you make the most of your benefits while prioritizing your oral health.
What Are End-of-Year Dental Benefits?
Most dental insurance plans provide an annual maximum benefit amount. This is the total your insurer will pay for your dental treatments in a given year. Alongside this, many plans cover preventive services like cleanings and exams at no out-of-pocket cost to you.
If you haven’t hit your annual maximum or scheduled your twice-a-year cleanings, those benefits will expire when the clock strikes midnight on December 31.
Why You Should Maximize Your Benefits
Your Oral Health Matters
Preventive care is key to maintaining a healthy smile and catching issues like cavities or gum disease early. Skipping routine visits can lead to more extensive (and expensive) dental work down the line.Save Money on Necessary Treatments
If you’ve been delaying treatments, now is the time to act. Procedures like fillings, crowns, or root canals can often be completed before year-end, allowing you to take advantage of your remaining benefits and minimize out-of-pocket expenses.Avoid Paying Double Next Year
If you delay care into the new year, you may need to pay another deductible or miss the chance to split treatments between two benefit periods. For example, starting a larger procedure in December and finishing in January can help you use benefits from two plan years.You’ve Already Paid for It
Let’s face it: You’re paying for your dental benefits, whether you use them or not. By maximizing your plan’s offerings, you’re ensuring you get the most value for your investment.
