The new year is here, and with it comes a fresh start for your dental benefits! At 7 to 7 Dental, we’re here to help you make the most of your renewed insurance benefits so you can maintain a healthy, beautiful smile all year long. If you maximized your benefits last year and have been waiting for your plan to reset, now is the perfect time to act.

Why Use Your Dental Benefits Early in the Year?

Dental insurance plans typically reset at the beginning of the calendar year, meaning you have a new allocation of funds to use toward your dental care. Whether you’re due for a routine cleaning, need restorative work, or have been putting off a treatment plan, now’s the time to schedule your appointment. Here’s why you should take advantage of your benefits early:

1. Start the Year with a Healthy Smile Preventive care is key to avoiding more extensive and costly procedures down the road. Scheduling a cleaning and check-up now ensures that any potential issues are caught early.

2. Avoid the Year-End Rush Many patients wait until the end of the year to use their benefits, leading to a busy schedule at dental offices. By acting now, you can secure an appointment that’s convenient for you without the stress of year-end deadlines.

3. Maximize Your Coverage If you have multiple procedures planned, starting early allows you to strategically spread out your treatments, maximizing your insurance coverage over the course of the year.

What Treatments Should You Consider?

Using your benefits isn’t just about routine care. Here are some treatments you may want to prioritize:

• Preventive Care: Cleanings, exams, and X-rays are often fully covered by insurance.

• Restorative Work: Fillings, crowns, or root canals can be addressed early before issues worsen.

• Cosmetic Enhancements: Veneers, teeth whitening, and other cosmetic procedures may also be eligible for partial coverage depending on your plan.

• Orthodontics: If you’ve been considering braces or Invisalign, check if your benefits include orthodontic care.

Don’t Let Benefits Go Unused

Each year, millions of dollars in dental benefits go unused simply because people forget or delay making appointments. Remember, most dental insurance plans operate on a “use it or lose it” basis, meaning unused benefits do not roll over into the next year. By planning ahead and scheduling your treatments early, you ensure that your hard-earned benefits are put to good use.
