As the year winds down, it’s easy to get caught up in the rush of holidays, school events, and travel plans. But before you know it, December will arrive — and with it, your dental insurance benefits will reset. At Hammons Family Dental, your trusted Georgetown family dentist and North Austin family dentist, we want to help you get the most out of the coverage you’ve already paid for.
Why “Use It or Lose It” Matters
Most dental insurance plans operate on a calendar-year basis, meaning that unused benefits — such as exams, cleanings, and annual maximums — do not roll over into the next year. If you don’t use them, you lose them. That means any remaining coverage for preventive or restorative care disappears when the clock strikes midnight on December 31.
By scheduling your visit now, you can:
- Use up your remaining insurance before it resets
- Complete treatments like fillings or crowns while coverage is active
- Prevent small dental issues from turning into major problems later
Make the Most of Your Preventive Care
If you haven’t had your second cleaning of the year, October is the perfect time to get it done. Regular checkups and cleanings not only protect your oral health but also save you money by avoiding more complex procedures down the road. Our family dentistry services are designed to make every visit comfortable, convenient, and effective.
Need Treatment? Don’t Wait
Have you been postponing a recommended filling, crown, or dental implant? Taking care of these treatments before year-end ensures you maximize your insurance benefits — and avoid paying out-of-pocket once your deductible resets. Our doctors and team can review your coverage and create a personalized plan that fits your timeline and budget.
No Insurance? We’ve Got You Covered
If you don’t have dental insurance, you can still save! Hammons Family Dental offers an affordable Dental Membership Plan that includes preventive visits and discounts on other treatments. It’s a smart way to keep your smile healthy year-round without the hassle of traditional insurance.
Schedule Early — Appointments Fill Fast
October and November are some of our busiest months, so don’t wait until December to call. Whether you’re a new patient or a long-time member of our dental family, we’ll help you make the most of your remaining benefits while keeping your smile bright for the holidays.
