The new year is a great time to focus on health, fresh routines, and making the most of the benefits you already have. One of the smartest ways to start the year with a healthy smile is by using your dental benefits early. At Montgomery Dentistry, we want every family to know how to maximize their coverage and access quality care without stress.
If you have dental insurance or are considering alternative payment options, now is the time to plan your appointments to keep your smile bright and healthy all year!
Why It’s Smart to Use Benefits Early
Most dental insurance plans reset on January 1. That means your annual maximum, deductible, and coverage for preventive services, such as cleanings and exams, begin anew for the year. If you wait until later in the year, busy schedules and full calendars can make it harder to get appointments that fit your needs.
Starting early also gives you a chance to take advantage of everything your plan covers, including routine visits that help catch small issues before they become bigger problems.
Preventive Care Often Comes With Little or No Cost
One of the biggest advantages of using your benefits early is preventive care coverage. Many insurance plans cover routine cleanings, exams, and X-rays at little to no cost to you. These visits help keep plaque and tartar in check, protect your gums, and allow us to spot issues like cavities or sensitivity while they are still easy to treat.
A cleaning early in the year can set a positive tone for your dental health and help you stay on track with care throughout the months ahead!
What If You Don’t Have Insurance? MD Membership Might Help!
Not everyone has dental insurance, and that should not keep you from getting quality care. Montgomery Dentistry offers MD Membership, an in-office program that can be a smart alternative to traditional dental insurance. Unlike many plans, MD Membership has no yearly maximum, no deductible, and no waiting periods. It also does not exclude teeth that were missing before joining the plan.
MD Membership includes two standard cleanings and exams each year, recommended annual X-rays, and 30 percent off most non-routine dental services such as fillings, crowns, periodontal treatment, and more.
This plan makes dental care more affordable for families who want consistent care without surprises!
Flexible Payment Options to Fit Your Budget
Montgomery Dentistry accepts multiple forms of payment, including major credit cards like Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.
For larger treatments or extended care, the office team can help you explore options like CareCredit or Cherry Financing, which allow you to pay over time with manageable monthly payments. These solutions make it easier to get the care you need when you need it, without putting your family’s dental health on hold.
If you are unsure which option is best, the friendly staff at Montgomery Dentistry is happy to walk you through the details before your visit!
Plan for a Healthy Year
Using your dental benefits early also gives you and your dentist more flexibility when it comes to scheduling appointments. If your child needs sealants, a checkup before school starts again can save time. If you need restorative work, there is more time to complete treatment throughout the year.
Planning is one of the best ways to protect your dental health and budget.
