As the end of the year is approaching, we want to thank you for your continued trust in us and our staff. We understand that you reserve the right to select your dentist, and we appreciate that you choose to continue your dental services with us.
With that said, we encourage our patients to maximize their remaining insurance benefits. Each year, your dental insurance provides you with a fixed maximum to use towards dental treatments. However, the funds your plan provides do not roll over as insurance plans typically expire by December 31st and restart at the beginning of the calendar year. Essentially, this is a “use it or lose it” annual benefit that is often overlooked and lost by dental patients at the end of the year.
We work with patients to accommodate several financing options that they may use with us. Many of our patients utilize flexible care plans with flexible spending account funds that expire when the calendar year ends. If this applies to you, we encourage you to maximize the funds allocated to your plan too!
Your health is important to us, and we want you to take full advantage of your benefits while receiving the dental care you deserve. Depending on your dental needs, you may have pending treatment to complete before the end of the year. Our team at Irvine Smile Dentistry is committed to helping you find the best time to visit our office as we recognize that the holiday season is coming up and that it can be difficult to find availability during this time. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our office by phone, text, or email with your name and contact information. As always, we are happy to assist you to the best of our ability. We look forward to hearing from you!
Best Wishes and Happy Holidays!
Dr. Christine Phung, Dr. Andrew Nguyen, Dr. Stacey Cao, and Staff
