Use Your Dental Insurance Benefits Before They Expire

Did you know most dental insurance benefits expire at the end of the year, which means the 31st of December may be the last date you can use this year’s dental insurance benefits? You may be surprised to learn that most insurance benefits do not carry over to the next year, and any unused benefits will simply disappear. That means if you don’t use your dental insurance before the end of the year, you lose the benefits.

As we approach the end of 2025, now is the perfect time to review your remaining dental benefits and schedule an appointment for any treatment needs right away. Why waste till the last date and risk losing benefits? Take action today!

At Lynnwood Dental Studio, we are committed to helping you make the most of your coverage and maintain your healthy smile this year and beyond.

Why You Should Use Your Dental Insurance Benefits Now

Most dental insurance plans renew every January or end on December 31.

Any unused benefits or amount in your annual allowance will disappear and be wasted if you don’t use them before the year ends.

Here’s what your dental insurance covers:

Preventive visits (cleanings, exams, X-rays) may be fully covered.
Core treatments are covered.
Recommended or optional treatments, such as fillings, crowns, deep cleanings, and more, may be partly or fully covered.

Delaying treatment or scheduling an appointment after December can lead to bigger out-of-pocket expenses later.

Using your remaining benefits now ensures you utilize the most of your annual allowance and avoid paying treatment costs from your own pocket.

With the increasing costs of dental care and insurance, why wait till next year for treatments that could have been done this year?
