Use Your Dental Benefits Before the End of the Year!
It’s hard to believe, but there are just a few weeks of the year left! With that comes last-minute gift shopping, spending time with family, and making sure that you’ve used your medical, dental, and vision benefits.
Most people know, but many forget that you pay for your dental insurance whether you use it or not – so you might as well use it! Dental health is a big factor in overall health, and it can even play a role in your mental health and social life.
Depending on your insurance, you’ll see varying levels of coverage, but most plans will allow for at least two cleanings and one x-ray exam each year. If you need or want work beyond that, many dental insurance benefits cover a large majority of the cost of preventative dental care treatments, if not the entire cost.
Preventative care treatments typically include:
- Routine cleanings
- Examinations
- Sealants
- Fluoride treatments
- Periodontal care
- X-rays
- Oral cancer screenings
- Mouthguards
- Patient education
When it comes to general dental care, insurance typically covers around 50 to 80% of the cost of treatment.
General dental care treatments typically include:
- Tooth-colored fillings
- Porcelain inlays onlays
- Porcelain crowns and bridges
- Dental implants
- Removable partials
- Dentures
- Root canals
- Minor tooth extractions
- Cerec restoration
Regardless of the type of treatment you need, it is important to remember that although you pay for dental insurance that does not mean that your insurance benefits roll over from year to year. If you don’t use your benefits before the year ends, you will likely miss out on the services your insurance can help cover.

The end of one year and the beginning of a new one are always the perfect time to evaluate your progress; whether that be your progress at work, your physical health, your mental health, or even the relationships you’ve built, evaluating what you have done in the past year and what you hope to achieve in the future are healthy ways to establish goals and keep yourself accountable.
Take care of yourself, focus on your goals, and take advantage of your dental benefits before the year ends!
