Maximize Your Dental Benefits Before They Expire!

As the end of the year approaches, many people don’t realise they may be letting valuable dental benefits go unused. Most dental insurance plans operate annually, meaning that any unused benefits won’t carry over to the new year. Now’s the time to act and ‘Use It or Lose It!’. Be sure to maximise your dental benefits before they expire!

Use It or Lose It!

1. Maximize Your Coverage: Dental insurance often provides annual benefits for services like cleanings, exams. If you haven’t used them yet, this is your chance.
2. Avoid Extra Out-of-Pocket Costs: Using your benefits now can help prevent larger dental expenses by catching any issues early.
3. Cosmetic Treatments: Many people use this time to brighten their smile with whitening for the festive season or to discuss orthodontics or cosmetic treatmet options.

Why is it essential to maximise your private health insurance benefits?

Most dental insurance plans cover preventive treatments like cleanings, exams, and x-rays twice a year. Even if your teeth feel fine, regular checkups are crucial for catching issues early, preventing tooth decay and other dental issues such as gum disease.

Most plans cover two annual check-ups and cleans, helping you stay proactive about your oral health. Minor dental issues can escalate quickly if left untreated. Utilising your benefits now can help catch issues like cavities or gum problems before they require more complex—and costly—treatments. So if you haven’t used yours yet, now’s the time to book. At Coastal Dental Care, we hold preferred provider status for the following health funds, which reset on December 31st 2024:

Many people also use this time to discuss more comprehensive restorative or cosmetic treatments like veneers, dental implants, or porcelain crowns. Maximising these benefits before the end of the year and starting now may allow you to split costs across two benefit periods before they reset in January (reducing your overall out-of-pocket expenses!).

At Coastal Dental Care, we are affiliated with most major health funds to help you maximize your benefits. From Northern NSW to Redland Bay – we’ve got you covered!
