As the year winds down, it’s easy to overlook one major opportunity: your Flexible Spending Account (FSA). Those pre-tax dollars you’ve been setting aside all year can do more than just cover medical expenses; they can help you elevate your smile.
At The Chicago Dental Studio, your FSA can be used toward a variety of dental treatments designed to keep your smile healthy, confident, and camera-ready.
But there’s a catch: most FSAs expire on December 31, and unused funds don’t roll over. If you don’t use them, you lose them, which means now’s the time to book your end-of-year visit.
What Is a Flexible Spending Account (FSA)?
A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) lets you set aside pre-tax dollars from your paycheck to pay for eligible health and dental expenses. It’s one of the smartest ways to invest in your wellness and your appearance.
So yes, if you’ve been wondering, “Can you use FSA for dental?” the answer is absolutely yes!
FSA-Eligible Dental Treatments at The Chicago Dental Studio
Your FSA dental funds can be applied to a range of treatments at The Chicago Dental Studio, including both preventive and restorative care. Eligible FSA dental expenses may include:
- Comprehensive dental exams and cleanings
- Orthodontic treatments, including Invisalign®
- Fillings and dental crowns
- X-rays and diagnostic services
- Periodontal (gum) treatments
- Night guards
- Dental implants
- Veneers or other cosmetic treatments if deemed medically necessary*
FSA eligibility may vary by provider, but our team can help confirm which services qualify and provide documentation for your FSA administrator.
Why You Should Use Your FSA Before the End of the Year
Using your flexible spending account dental benefits before they expire means more than avoiding waste; it’s about starting the new year feeling confident and refreshed.
Here’s why it matters:
- Avoid losing unused funds: Most FSAs expire on December 31.
- Save on care you already planned: Use pre-tax dollars for treatments you were considering anyway.
- Get a head start: Beginning treatments like Invisalign® or dental implants now sets you up for success early in the new year.
How to Use Your FSA for Dental Treatments
Using your FSA for dental care is simple. Once you’ve scheduled your visit, please let our team know that you’d like to apply your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) toward the treatment. We’ll provide itemized receipts and any required documentation for your FSA administrator, so you can get reimbursed quickly and easily.
If you’re planning a multi-step treatment such as Invisalign® or dental implants, starting before December 31 can help you maximize your current FSA and plan for next year’s funds.
