Use Your Dental Benefits Before the Year Ends

Most dental benefits expire on December 31. Check what you have left.

Most dental insurance benefits expire on December 31, and unused annual benefits usually don't carry over. If you have benefits or FSA/HSA funds left, now is a good time to check your coverage and schedule care at Houston Dental Oasis in Houston Heights.

Why Year-End Matters

Annual maximums: Many plans cap how much they pay each benefit year. On many plans, unused benefits do not roll over.

Deductibles: If you have already met your deductible this year, it usually applies only to your current benefit year.

FSA and HSA funds: FSA deadlines, grace periods, and carryover rules vary by employer plan. HSA funds generally work differently. Check with your plan administrator for your dates.

Every plan is different. Your plan documents or insurer can confirm your benefit year and remaining coverage.

Care Patients Often Schedule Before Year End

Cleanings and Exams

Routine preventive visits help you and your dentist keep track of your oral health. Learn about teeth cleaning.

Fillings

If your dentist has recommended a filling, ask whether it fits within your remaining benefits. Learn about dental fillings.

Crowns

Crowns may take more than one visit, so planning ahead can help. Learn about crowns and bridges.

Treatment recommendations depend on your exam. See all family and preventive services.
