The new year is just around the corner, and while you’ve probably spent a lot of time planning holiday parties of buying gifts for loved ones, it’s important to think about your oral health as well. Specifically, you should consider using your insurance benefits before the holidays are over. If you need procedures such as dental implants, bone grafting or other periodontal services, you may want to schedule your appointment before the year is over to get the maximum benefit out of your insurance plan.
Insurance Benefits Reset on January First
Benefits for most insurance plans “reset” on the first of each year. If you’ve met your deductible or out-of-pocket maximum this year, now is the perfect time to take make good use of your remaining insurance benefits and receive dental implants and other services before your plan resets in January. If you wait until next year to replace missing teeth or receive other oral services, you’ll have to meet your deductible once again.
