Don’t Lose Your Dental Benefits in 2026

Use it, or lose it!

Australian Dental Insurance Use it or lose it 2026

You may be about to lose your private health insurance dental benefits if they’re not used by 31 December 2026

We wouldn’t want you to miss out on getting an appointment, so we’re sending out this reminder now. December is a tough month to book appointments, and we notice our spots filling up quickly.

Most private extras plans won’t let you carry over any unused benefits into the new year. So, if you have $500 of benefits left in 2026, you’ll need to have the dental treatments done before the end of this year.*

Whether you’re due for a dental check-up, professional clean or other necessary treatment, now is a good time to make an appointment.

Not having your dental work done in time would be the equivalent of giving your insurance provider $500.

*Check with your health fund to confirm when your benefits reset and how much you have remaining.
