As we approach the end of the year, many Burlington residents still have unused dental insurance benefits they may not realize expire on December 31st. At Burlington Dental Centre, we help patients make the most of their remaining coverage before it resets.
If you haven’t booked your last 2025 appointment yet, now is the time.
1. Most Dental Plans Reset January 1 – Use It or Lose It
Private dental insurance typically covers:
- Two cleanings per year
- Exams & digital X-rays
- Fillings
- Scaling & preventive care
- Some restorative treatments
But any unused coverage is lost when the clock hits midnight on December 31.
Booking now ensures you receive the care you’re entitled to.
💡 2. Preventive Care Is Usually Fully Covered
Most plans cover all or most of:
- Teeth cleanings
- Dental exams
- Fluoride treatments
- Routine X-rays
This makes December the ideal month for:
✔ Your second cleaning
✔ A missed recall exam
✔ A gum health check
✔ Children’s preventive visits before the new school term
Routine appointments help prevent costly dental problems in 2026.
🦷 3. Treat Small Problems Before They Grow
A small cavity now may become:
- A root canal
- A crown
- A broken tooth
- A dental emergency
Using your 2025 dental benefits now helps you avoid higher costs and discomfort later.
Your Burlington dentist will recommend the most important treatments to complete before year-end.
🇨🇦 4. CDCP Patients Should Also Book Before Year-End
If you qualify for the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), December is the perfect time to:
- Complete preventive care
- Start restorative treatment
- Maximize your 2025 coverage
Our team helps Burlington families understand and use their CDCP eligibility effectively.
📅 5. December Appointments Fill Up Quickly
As Burlington’s population grows, year-end demand increases. Booking early ensures:
- Better time selection
- Enough room for family appointments
- Completion of 2025 care before benefits reset
🌟 6. Begin 2026 With a Clean, Confident Smile
Ending the year with proper dental care means fewer problems, lower expenses, and a healthier smile entering the new year.
