Did you know your smile has an expiration date? Well, not your smile but the benefits you've been paying for all year to keep it bright and healthy. When the clock strikes midnight on December 31st, thousands of dollars in dental benefits will vanish for millions of Americans. That's real money you've invested in your health, disappearing without a trace.

Perhaps you've been putting off that cleaning, waiting for the "right time" to take care of that sensitive tooth, or delaying the treatment your dentist recommended months ago. But here's the truth: your dental benefits are like an unopened gift card that's about to expire, so it's time to invest in the healthy, confident smile you deserve before these valuable benefits become nothing more than a "could have been."

  • Check your policy — We can help you understand your deductible, annual maximum, and what your insurance policy covers.
  • Prioritize preventive care — Most dental insurance plans cover a preventive checkup and cleaning every six months, so if you’re past due for a routine exam and cleaning, schedule it right away.
  • Plan for more extensive treatments — To get the most out of your coverage, Consider starting any larger dental treatments before the end of the year. You may be able to begin treatment before December 31st and complete it after the new year.
