Fresh Coverage. Clear Goals. Better Timing. Start 2026 Strong.
For many patients, the new year brings new priorities — from wellness goals to insurance renewals. If you’ve been putting off treatment or skipping cleanings, the start of the year is the best time to take control of your dental health.
At Robert Perry Dental, we help patients take advantage of fresh benefits, open schedules, and long-term planning — all while avoiding the year-end crunch.
1. Your Dental Benefits Just Reset
Most dental plans follow a calendar year. That means you now have:
- A full annual maximum ready to use
- Two preventive cleanings are covered
- A deductible that hasn’t been touched yet
Starting early gives you better flexibility to use these benefits — and more breathing room to finish treatment later in the year.
2. Delaying Treatment Can Make Problems Worse
Minor dental concerns — like small cavities or cracked fillings — don’t get better with time. In fact, they often become more painful and more expensive if left untreated.
By scheduling now, you can:
- Catch small issues before they turn into emergencies
- Avoid long-term discomfort
- Prevent more costly restorative care later
Taking care of it now means fewer problems — and less stress — later in the year.
3. It’s Easier to Plan Ahead Early in the Year
Early in the year, schedules are more flexible — both for you and our team. That means it’s the ideal time to:
- Lock in appointments before spring and summer get busy
- Schedule multi-visit treatments without a time crunch
- Choose times that work best for your routine
This flexibility is especially helpful for working professionals, families, or anyone planning ahead for travel or seasonal events.
4. Start Now, Finish Strong
Need a dental crown? Want to improve your bite or complete a longer treatment plan? Starting now gives you the full year to space things out — and take full advantage of your insurance.
- Break major treatment into phases
- Avoid last-minute decisions later in the year
- Plan restorations or cosmetic care on your own timeline
You don’t have to do it all at once — you just have to get started.
5. A Healthier Smile Supports Bigger Goals
Oral health doesn’t just affect your teeth — it plays a big role in your overall confidence, comfort, and long-term wellness. If a brighter, stronger, or healthier smile is something you’ve been putting off, now is a great time to commit.
- Reinforce healthier habits
- Get back on track with preventive care
- Feel good about your progress from the start
