As the year-end approaches, many patients search for “a dentist near me who can help them make the most of their remaining dental benefits.” At Blu Dental & Wellness, serving both Marysville and Snohomish, Dr. Clinton Timmerman and our friendly, helpful team want to ensure you understand how to use your dental benefits before the end of the year so you don’t lose benefits you’ve already paid for.
Why the “Use It or Lose It” Deadline Is Non-Negotiable
To understand why timing matters, it helps to know how dental insurance works. Most plans reset on New Year’s Day, meaning any unused benefits simply vanish when the calendar turns. You pay monthly premiums for a set annual allowance, but if you don’t use those dollars, they just disappear. Deductibles also reset each year, so delaying necessary care can cost more later. For patients seeking a dentist in Snohomish, WA, acting now ensures you maximize what’s available to you before everything resets.
Smart Ways to Maximize Your Remaining 2025 Dollars
Start with the essentials: exams, cleanings, x-rays, and small fillings, which are typically covered at a high percentage and crucial in preventing more expensive and extensive issues down the road. If you need more involved treatment, like a crown, implant, or periodontal therapy, we can often "phase the care." Completing part of the treatment in 2025 and the rest in early 2026 allows you to apply two benefit years to one comprehensive plan. And you can make this happen in two simple steps:
- Contact Blu Dental’s Marysville or Snohomish office to review what you still have available.
- Schedule your appointment immediately before year-end spots fill.
That’s it! Your benefits are already paid for. Don’t leave them behind!
Also, for patients without insurance, Blu Dental offers in-house Standard and periodontal-focused membership plans at both of our locations, making preventive care and needed treatment significantly more predictable and affordable.
