Don’t Let Your Dental Benefits Go to Waste - End the Year with a Healthier, Brighter Smile in Kitsilano

As the year winds down, it’s easy to focus on wrapping up projects, preparing for the holidays, and thinking ahead to the new year. But here’s something many people forget - your dental insurance benefits are about to reset.

If you have unused coverage from your 2025 dental plan, now’s the time to make the most of it. Every December, thousands of Canadians miss out on hundreds of dollars in benefits they’ve already earned. At Smile Back Dental in Kitsilano, we help patients use their remaining coverage for treatments that truly make a difference - from routine cleanings to Invisalign and cosmetic enhancements that boost confidence heading into 2026.

Your dental benefits are part of your total compensation. Using them wisely isn’t just good for your wallet - it’s good for your long-term oral health and peace of mind. Whether you’ve been meaning to start Invisalign, refresh your smile, or simply book that overdue cleaning, this is the perfect moment to get it done before your benefits reset.

Why Your Dental Benefits Don’t Roll Over

Most dental insurance or workplace benefit plans work on a “use it or lose it” system.This means that any unused coverage from your 2025 plan year does not carry over into 2026.

Here’s what that means for you:• If you haven’t had your routine cleaning or exam, you’re likely leaving paid-for care unused.• If you’ve been considering a larger treatment such as Invisalign, crowns, or cosmetic improvements, you could save hundreds by starting before your deductible resets. If you delay treatment now, you’ll be starting next year with new out-of-pocket costs and possible delays in care.

Your benefits are part of your total compensation from work, so using them wisely is a way to maximize your investment in your health.

😁 Why Invisalign Is the Perfect Year-End Treatment

If you’ve been thinking about straightening your teeth but haven’t made the leap yet, now might be the best time.Invisalign clear aligners are one of the most effective and discreet ways to correct crooked, crowded, or misaligned teeth, and year-end benefits can make starting treatment much more affordable.

Here’s why it’s worth starting Invisalign before the year ends:

1. Use your current benefits before they reset.Many insurance plans cover part of orthodontic treatments like Invisalign. Starting now allows you to apply your remaining 2025 benefits, and if treatment continues into 2026, you can use next year’s coverage too.

2. Start your smile transformation over the holidays.Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, easy to wear, and comfortable, meaning you can begin treatment without anyone noticing during holiday gatherings or photos.

3. Build momentum for a new year of confidence.There’s something empowering about starting a new year with progress already underway. By January, you’ll already be weeks into your transformation.

4. Enjoy personalized planning from Smile Back Dental.Our team uses advanced 3D scanning and imaging to create a precise, customized plan that fits your goals, schedule, and comfort.
