Dental Tips: The Top 4 Reasons to use Your Dental Insurance Now

The end of the year is almost here! Before the current year ends, your Hoppers Crossing dentist encourages you to make the most of your dental insurance benefits to keep healthy teeth during the holiday season and a bright smile for life.

At Sayers Dental Aesthetics & Implants, we take pride in doing everything possible to help you and your loved ones maximise your dental insurance.

Listed below are the reasons to use your dental insurance before the year changes.

1. Yearly Maximum

The yearly maximum is the highest sum that your dental insurance will cover for services rendered over the course of a complete calendar year.

The average cost per person per year varies by insurance company.

The yearly maximum usually renews every year (every January 1st if your plan is based on a calendar year). If dental insurance benefits are unused, these will not roll over to the next year.

2. Premiums

If you are paying premium dental insurance every month, you should be using your benefits. You should always get your routine dental cleaning and scaling performed, even if you don’t require any treatment, to help prevent and spot any early indications of cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and other dental problems.

3. Fee Increases

The possibility of cost rises is another motivation to use your dental insurance benefits before the year is through.

Due to the rising cost of living, supplies, and equipment, several dentists raise their fees at the beginning of the year. Your prices could go up as a result of a fee rise.

4. Dental Problems Can Worsen

By delaying any dental treatment, you risk more extensive and expensive treatment in the future.

What may be simple tooth decay now can turn into a root canal problem later. Call your dentist and make an appointment to take advantage of these benefits.

Dental Insurance – Use it or Lose it!

A number of dental insurance plans cover a large part of the dental cost of preventive and restorative procedures such as scale and clean, routine check-ups and examinations, X-rays, extractions, fillings, and many others.

This enables you to improve your oral and dental wellbeing as well as the overall quality of your life. Dental insurance makes your dental care better and more affordable.

By talking to your local Hoppers Crossing dentist, you’ll determine exactly what is covered for you and your family members.

It’s important to keep in mind that you will lose the amount of your annual maximum coverage if you don’t use it.

Your dental insurance provides you with a certain dollar amount of insurance every year, but you need to utilise your maximum coverage benefits to maintain them. Unused benefits don’t roll over into the next year.

The yearly maximum typically renews each year on a calendar year basis, such as on January 1st. The benefits do not carry over to the next year and must be used by December 31st.
