Common questions

Year-end dental benefits FAQ

Do my dental benefits reset on January 1?

Many plans use a calendar year, but some follow a different benefit year. Check your plan documents or ask your insurer for your specific renewal date.

Will my insurance cover my appointment?

Coverage depends on your plan, network, deductible, annual maximum, and the service provided. Our team can help review benefits and give you an estimate; your insurer makes the final determination.

Can I use FSA or HSA funds for dental care?

Many dental treatments may qualify, but eligibility depends on the expense and your plan. Ask your plan administrator about eligible services and deadlines. Health FSAs may offer a carryover or grace period depending on the plan; HSA balances generally carry forward.

Does booking before year-end guarantee this year's benefits?

Booking alone does not guarantee coverage under this year's benefits. The date of service and your plan's rules matter. Contact us early so we can review appointment availability.

What if I am unsure whether you accept my plan?

Call 713-784-4430 with your insurance information. Our front desk can help check your plan and explain what we can verify before your visit.
