Use It Before You Lose It: Maximize Your Dental Benefits Today!


Did you know that if you don't use your dental benefits before the year is over, you lose them? And your deductible starts over in January! At Sunset Family Dentistry, we're here to guide you in making the most of your benefits before the clock runs out. Don't let your hard-earned benefits go to waste—act now to ensure a healthy smile and a happy wallet!

Understanding the Stakes:

Imagine starting the new year with a fresh, healthy smile and no dental worries. Now, picture the opposite: missing out on benefits, facing a new deductible, and dealing with potential dental issues. According to the National Association of Dental Plans, only 2.8% of people with PPO dental plans reach or exceed their annual maximum. This means that most people leave hundreds of dollars in unused benefits each year. We want to help you avoid that scenario by showing you how to use your benefits wisely.

We're here to help!

At Sunset Family Dentistry, we're not just your dental care providers; we're your partners in oral health. Our friendly and knowledgeable team is here to support you every step of the way, ensuring you get the most out of your dental plan.

5 Smart Ways to Use Your Dental Benefits

  1. Schedule a Comprehensive Dental Check-Up:

    • Regular dental check-ups are the cornerstone of preventive care. During these visits, our dentists perform thorough examinations to detect any early signs of cavities, gum disease, or other oral health issues. Early detection allows for less invasive and more cost-effective treatments.

    • Additionally, these appointments provide an opportunity for professional advice on maintaining oral hygiene and addressing any concerns you might have about your dental health. Remember, preventive care is often fully covered by insurance, so there's no reason to delay.

  2. Book a Professional Teeth Cleaning:

    • A professional cleaning goes beyond what your toothbrush can achieve. It removes built-up plaque and tartar that can lead to cavities and gum disease. This service not only keeps your teeth looking their best but also prevents more serious health issues.

    • Our hygienists use specialized tools to clean hard-to-reach areas, ensuring your gums stay healthy and reducing the risk of periodontal disease. Plus, a clean mouth is a great way to boost your confidence and start the new year with a dazzling smile.

  3. Explore Cosmetic Dentistry Options:

    • Have you been dreaming of a brighter, more confident smile? Now might be the perfect time to explore cosmetic dental procedures like teeth whitening, veneers, or bonding. Some insurance plans cover certain cosmetic treatments, so it's worth checking your policy.

    • Cosmetic enhancements can dramatically improve your smile's appearance and boost your self-esteem. Our team can guide you through the options and help you choose the best treatments for your needs and budget.

  4. Complete Any Pending Treatments:

    • If you've been postponing necessary treatments like fillings, crowns, or root canals, it's wise to complete them before your benefits reset. Delaying these procedures can lead to more severe dental issues, which can be more painful and costly to treat.

    • Addressing these treatments now ensures you use your benefits effectively and start the new year without lingering dental problems. Our team will work with you to prioritize treatments and create a plan that fits your schedule and financial situation.

  5. Utilize Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs):

    • If you're enrolled in an FSA, remember that these funds typically don't roll over into the next year. Use your FSA for eligible dental expenses, such as co-pays, deductibles, and non-covered treatments.

    • FSAs can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs for dental care. Our office can provide detailed receipts and documentation to help you maximize your FSA benefits.


Don't wait until it's too late. Contact Sunset Family Dentistry today to schedule your appointment and make the most of your dental benefits. Our team is ready to help you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile that lasts well into the new year.


Start the new year with confidence, knowing you've taken full advantage of your dental benefits. At Sunset Family Dentistry, we're dedicated to helping you maintain optimal oral health. Remember, "Use it before you lose it!" Schedule your appointment today and let us guide you to a brighter, healthier smile.
