Start the New Year with a Sparkling Smile: Your Holiday Gift from Fortune Dental

The team at Fortune Dental wishes you and your loved ones a joyous, peaceful, and wonderfully happy Christmas holiday! As we hang the stockings and enjoy this festive season of gratitude and giving, we’re reminded of the gifts that truly matter—health, happiness, and the beautiful smiles of our patients and community.

While you’re savoring the holiday treats and making memories, we invite you to consider one of the most valuable gifts you can give yourself as the year draws to a close: the foundation for a healthy, confident smile in the New Year.

Why is a Post-Holiday Dental Checkup So Important?

The holiday season, with its delicious array of candies, festive drinks, and busy schedules, can sometimes take a toll on our oral health. A professional cleaning and examination in January is the perfect reset. It removes plaque and tartar buildup from seasonal indulgences, checks for any potential issues, and ensures you start 2026 with a truly clean slate—and a brilliantly clean smile.

Q&A: Your End-of-Year Dental Insurance & Appointment Questions

To help you plan, let’s address some common questions we hear from patients this time of year.

Q: Why is there so much emphasis on booking a dental appointment before the year ends?


A: Scheduling your dental cleaning or treatment before December 31st is crucial for two key reasons. First, you’ve likely already met your annual insurance deductible. This means any additional covered care you receive before the year resets will often cost you less out-of-pocket. Second, and just as important, is using your dental insurance benefits before they expire.

Q: What do you mean by "using benefits before they expire"?


A: Most dental insurance plans operate on a calendar year with a maximum annual benefit—a set dollar amount they will pay for your care. These benefits do not roll over. Any unused portion of your premium essentially disappears on January 1st. By scheduling an appointment today, you’re maximizing the value of your insurance plan and investing in your oral health wisely.

Q: I’m not in pain. Is a checkup really necessary?


A: Absolutely! Dentistry is about prevention. Many dental issues, like cavities or early gum disease, don’t cause pain until they are more advanced and costly to treat. A routine dental checkup allows us to catch small problems early, often making treatment simpler, more comfortable, and less expensive. Think of it as preventive maintenance for your most valuable asset—your smile.

Q: What if I want to explore cosmetic treatments for a more beautiful smile in the New Year?
A: The end of the year is an ideal time! If you have remaining insurance benefits, they may apply to certain cosmetic procedures, or you can use them for your essential care and plan aesthetically for the new year. We offer consultations for everything from teeth whitening to Invisalign and veneers. Start the year not just healthy, but truly confident in your smile.
