Frequently Asked Questions

Do my dental benefits really expire at the end of the year?

Many dental plans run on a calendar year and reset on January 1. Unused benefits, including your annual maximum and remaining exams and cleanings, usually don't carry over. Some plans follow a different benefit year, so check with your insurer or ask our team.

What's an annual maximum?

It's the most your plan will pay toward your dental care in a benefit year. Once the year resets, any amount you didn't use typically starts over.

Why does it matter if I've already met my deductible?

If you've met your deductible this year, your plan may cover more of your remaining treatment now. After the reset, you'll typically need to meet your deductible again before coverage applies.

How do I find out what my plan covers?

You can check your coverage online, call your insurance provider, or ask our team. We're happy to review your benefits with you before any treatment.

What if I don't have dental insurance?

We offer flexible payment options, including CareCredit® financing and the Essential Dental Plan, to help make care more affordable. New patients can also ask about our new patient offer.
