As the end of the year approaches, many patients are focused on holiday plans and family gatherings—but there’s one thing that shouldn’t be left off your to-do list: using your dental insurance benefits before they expire.
Every year, thousands of dollars in dental benefits go unused. Once the calendar flips to January, those funds disappear, and patients end up paying more out of pocket for the same care.
At Prestige Dental Care, we’re here to help you make the most of your remaining benefits and end the year with a healthy, confident smile. Whether you visit our Lake Worth or Loxahatchee location, our family-owned practice makes your dental care simple, comfortable, and affordable.
Family-Owned and Patient-Focused Care
Prestige Dental Care and Prestige Dental Care West are proud to be privately owned and operated by husband-and-wife dentists Dr. Pablo R. Prado, DMD and Dr. Zinnia Sotolongo, DMD.
With over 20 years of combined experience, our team offers compassionate, high-quality care without the corporate feel. From your very first visit, you’ll see that we treat every patient like family—not a number. Our friendly staff takes the time to explain your treatment options, review your insurance coverage, and help you plan your care around your benefits.

Why It Pays to Use Your 2025 Dental Insurance Benefits Now
If you have dental insurance, you likely have an annual maximum—the total amount your plan pays for dental care each year. When the year ends, any unused balance is lost, and your deductible resets.
That means now is the perfect time to schedule:
- Routine Cleanings and Exams: Preventive care visits are usually 100% covered. If you haven’t had two this year, you’re likely leaving benefits on the table.
- Dental Crowns: If you’ve been delaying a crown or other restorative work, completing it before year-end can save you hundreds. Learn more in our blog: How Common Are Dental Crowns in Young Adults.
- Periodontal Gum Treatment: Treating gum issues early can prevent costly procedures later.
- Emergency Dentistry: Tooth pain or a broken tooth can strike at any time—don’t wait for the holidays to turn into an emergency.
- Cosmetic Dentistry: Many treatments combine function and beauty, helping you maximize coverage while improving your smile.
By scheduling now, you can finish the year strong and enter 2026 with a healthier smile and less financial stress.
