Maximize Your Dental Benefits Before the Year Ends

As we approach the end of the year, it’s important to make the most of your dental insurance benefits. At Massasoit Dental Associates, we want to remind you that in most cases, any unused benefits do not roll over into the new year. That means if you don’t use them, you lose them!

Many dental insurance plans are structured around the calendar year. This means that your annual maximum, which is the amount your insurance will pay for your dental care throughout the year, resets on January 1st. If you have been delaying any treatments—whether it’s a routine cleaning, filling, or a more extensive procedure—now is the perfect time to take action.

Why You Should Act Now

  • Annual Maximums: Most plans have a yearly maximum for covered dental work. If you haven’t hit your limit, it’s an opportunity to take advantage of your benefits before they expire.
  • Preventative Care: Many plans fully cover preventive services like cleanings and exams. Staying on top of these helps prevent more significant (and costly) dental issues in the future.
  • Pending Treatments: If your dentist has recommended any treatments, now is a great time to schedule them before the year ends, especially if you’ve already met your deductible. You’ll save money by using your insurance coverage rather than postponing and resetting your deductible next year.

Not All Plans Follow the Calendar Year

While many insurance plans reset on January 1st, not all do. Some might operate on a fiscal year or have a different schedule altogether. If you’re unsure of when your plan resets, don’t hesitate to contact our office. We’ll help you determine the best way to maximize your benefits.
