With December 31 just around the corner, now is the perfect time to make the most of your health fund extras benefits before you regret that they reset for the new year. At Pacific Smiles Dental we want to remind you that unused dental benefits don’t roll over into 2026.
You’ve been paying for health insurance all year, don’t have end of year regrets by not using what you’re entitled to.
It might be a routine check-up and clean, that filling you’ve been putting off, or a more comprehensive treatment plan; your benefits are waiting to be used. Use it or lose it.
You might be surprised to discover you have significant benefits remaining that could cover or reduce the cost of essential dental care.
Why book your appointment now?
December is one of our busiest months at Pacific Smiles Dental, by getting in now, you’ll be able to lock in the best times available. Plus, starting the new year with a clean bill of dental health means you’re setting yourself up for a great 2026.
Regular dental visits aren’t just about keeping your smile bright, they’re crucial for detecting potential problems early, before they become painful or expensive.
Keeping your mouth healthy beats fixing problems later – and it’s also good for your savings account and your well-being.
What can you claim?
Your extras cover typically includes preventive services like a check-up, x-rays, and professional cleaning, as well as general treatments such as fillings, extractions and mouthguards.
Some policies even contribute toward more extensive work like crowns, bridges, or orthodontics. If you’re unsure what you’re entitled to, our friendly team at Pacific Smiles can help you check your remaining benefits with a quick phone call to your health fund.
Time is running out
December 31 turns your unused health extras into extra regrets. Don’t let another year of benefits slip through your fingers. If you haven’t used your no-gap check-up by December 31st, you will lose it.
Our experienced team is committed to providing gentle, comprehensive care in a comfortable environment.
