As the year winds down, many people don’t realize how much of their dental insurance will go unused and be lost on December 31. Whether you’ve postponed a cleaning, ignored a lingering tooth sensitivity, or thought about whitening before the holidays, now is the ideal time to use your benefits before they reset.
At Smiles by Dr. Josh, patients often discover they have remaining coverage for preventive care, restorative dentistry, or elective smile upgrades. But only if they schedule before the deadline!
Why Your Dental Benefits Don’t Roll Over
Most insurance plans operate on a strict calendar-year cycle. That means any unused benefits that could have gone toward cleanings, x-rays, exams, or a portion of more extensive restorative care are lost once January hits. If you’ve already met your deductible, end-of-year appointments can cost significantly less. Even patients who haven’t used much coverage still benefit. However you slice it, the holiday season is a prime time to maximize value with minimal out-of-pocket expense.

The holiday season is also a perfect opportunity for a confidence lift. Brightening your smile, smoothing rough edges, or fixing a chipped tooth can make holiday gatherings feel better. And, again, it can be more affordable when you apply unused insurance dollars!
Dr. Slatkoff offers modern whitening, conservative bonding, and preventive treatments that restore comfort and confidence without significant downtime. Many patients schedule in November or December so they can start the new year with a clean, healthy, brighter smile.
