If you’re paying for dental insurance, you should be getting the most out of it. Every year, many people leave valuable dental benefits unused. These benefits can help protect their smiles, improve their health, and save them money. Our Desert Valley Dental team wants to make sure patients in Reno, Sparks, Sun Valley, North Valleys, and Damonte receive the full advantage of their coverage.
Here is why using your dental benefits matters and how to make sure you do not miss out.
Understanding How Dental Benefits Work
Most Plans Are “Use It or Lose It”
Many dental insurance plans reset at the beginning of a new year. When this happens, any unused benefits such as cleanings, exams, or treatment allowances expire. They do not roll over, and there is no reimbursement for benefits you did not use.
If you are paying into your plan, it is important to take advantage of the care available to you.
Each Plan Has a Yearly Maximum
Dental insurance usually includes a set amount of coverage each year. Preventive care is often fully covered, while services like fillings, crowns, or bridges use a portion of your yearly maximum. Keeping up with visits helps prevent small issues from turning into expensive dental problems.
Why You Should Use Your Benefits Now
Prevent Problems Before They Start
Regular dental cleanings and exams allow your dentist to catch issues in their earliest stages. This often happens before you experience discomfort or noticeable symptoms. Early detection leads to easier and more affordable treatment.
Avoid Higher Costs in the Future
Skipping routine visits increases the risk of developing more serious dental problems. These can include cavities, gum disease, broken teeth, infections, and even tooth loss. A simple appointment today can save you a significant amount of money in the future.
Improve Your Smile & Confidence
Many restorative treatments support both oral health and the appearance of your smile. If your insurance helps cover part of these services, this is an ideal time to use those benefits.
