As the end of the year approaches, you are busy planning for the holidays and finding the perfect gifts. The last thing on your mind is often your dental health. However, with the new year just a few weeks away, a visit to your dentist in San Antonio should be at the center of your focus because your remaining dental benefits are about to expire. If you do not use them now, you will miss out on a valuable savings opportunity.
Maximize Your Dental Coverage
Dental insurance focuses on preventing oral health issues from developing in the first place to keep your smile healthy to reduce your long-term costs for care. Every month, you pay premiums to use your coverage to get preventive treatments, including cleanings and checkups. This allows you to ward off certain issues, like tooth decay and gum disease for little to no out-of-pocket costs.
In addition to preventive dental services, you are also given a yearly allowance to use after you have paid your deductible. This can be used to treat specific issues that may arise while some can also be used toward certain cosmetic procedures, like teeth whitening treatments.
Throughout the year, your dental coverage provides you with a great opportunity to maintain your oral health for reduced rates when choosing an in-network dentist. However, as the year comes to an end, your remaining benefits will expire. They will not carry over to the next year and you will not be reimbursed for your premiums or your deductible.
Not only will you lose your benefits, but you can face additional costs in the new year. There can be changes to your dental policy, which can negatively impact your coverage. Not to mention, you will have to repay your deductible before you can begin to use your coverage again.
Don’t Lose Your Dental Benefits
While times are busy as you plan for holidays events with friends and loved ones, do not let your dental benefits go unused. With regular care from your dentist you can keep your teeth and gums healthy to reach your oral health goals.
In addition, you can start the new year feeling confident with certain cosmetic procedures, like teeth whitening. After just one appointment, you can get a brighter, whiter smile by using your remaining coverage to restore their appearance.
