Dental Insurance – Use It or Lose It!

When it comes to money, people want to get the biggest bang for their buck. No one wants to waste hard-earned money, yet that is what thousands of people do each year when it comes to dental insurance.

If you have dental insurance, it is important to be aware of your dental insurance coverage and for you to watch the calendar. Dental insurance plans typically offer coverage from January 1 to December 31. Throughout this calendar year, most dental plans provide benefits that cover dental care within the cost of $1,000 to $1,500 (check your policy) per person. This coverage typically goes towards two dental cleanings per year and 80%-50% coverage on dental work (e.g., fillings, crowns, bridges, etc.). If you do not use your coverage by the end of the year, there is no rollover. At ConfiDENT, we want to remind you to use your dental insurance, so you don’t lose it!

Right now is the perfect time to make dental appointments. There is still plenty of time left in this calendar year to use your dental benefits and get your money’s worth from your monthly premiums. With two checkups per year allowed by most dental insurance policies, you have a built-in method of maximizing your dental coverage. Regular dental visits at ConfiDENT help protect your teeth, and ultimately protect your wallet, because Dr. Tapia can spot any signs of trouble before they get out of hand. Don’t waste your dental coverage by not using it on a routine, fully-covered checkup!

If you have been putting off dental work, please don’t do so any longer. Delaying dental work now can result in more extensive, and more expensive, procedures later. Please keep in mind how many days and weeks are left on the calendar this year. Many times, extensive dental work requires multiple visits to the dentist. You want to make sure you get these visits in and have all the dental work completed before the new year starts and your benefits start over. The sooner you call our office, the better chance you have at receiving the most significant benefits from your dental coverage.

Keep in mind that you are paying out money each month for dental coverage. If you are not taking advantage of your benefits, you are merely throwing your money away.
