Quick Summary: Most dental insurance plans reset on January 1, meaning any unused annual maximums or benefits will expire at the end of the year. By scheduling your appointment before December 31, you can utilize your remaining coverage for essential treatments like cleanings, fillings, or restorative work. We also offer flexible Cherry financing to help you manage any out-of-pocket costs comfortably.
The 'Use It or Lose It' Reality of Dental Insurance
As the year draws to a close, many patients forget that their dental insurance benefits are not a rollover account. If you have paid your premiums all year, you have likely earned an annual maximum that resets every January 1st. Failing to schedule necessary procedures before December 31 means you are essentially leaving money on the table that could have been applied toward your oral health.
Whether you are due for a routine check-up or have been putting off restorative work like Dental Crowns or Dental Implants, now is the time to act. Our team at Burlingame Dental works diligently with major PPO insurance plans to ensure you understand your coverage and can maximize your benefits before they vanish at the end of the calendar year.
Flexible Payment Options for Your Smile
We believe that financial concerns should never stand in the way of your dental health. Beyond accepting major PPO insurance plans, we are proud to offer Cherry financing. This flexible monthly payment option allows you to spread the cost of your treatment over time, making it easier to afford everything from Invisalign clear aligners to Full and Partial Dentures without the immediate financial burden.
If you have been considering preventative measures like Dental Sealants to protect your teeth, our team can help you navigate your insurance and financing options simultaneously. We prioritize transparency, ensuring you know exactly what your investment will be before we begin any treatment, so you can head into the new year with a healthy smile and peace of mind.
