Maximizing Your Tax-Free Dollars
If you have a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) through your employer, you may be sitting on a goldmine for your dental health. These accounts allow you to set aside pre-tax dollars for medical expenses, providing what is essentially a significant discount on your care. At Veda Family Dentistry, Dr. Priya and Dr. Moosavi encourage our West New York patients to use these funds for both preventive care and restorative needs before they expire. Using these funds is a smart financial strategy that reduces your taxable income while allowing you to invest in a healthier, more beautiful smile. Many patients are surprised to learn how many of our services qualify for this tax-free spending.
What Can You Pay For
While purely cosmetic treatments like whitening are generally ineligible, many procedures that serve a restorative or functional purpose are covered by these accounts. This includes dental implants, which are considered a medical necessity for preserving jawbone health, and orthodontics like Invisalign when used to correct a misaligned bite. Other restorative care, such as crowns, bridges, and fillings, are all qualified expenses, as are your bi-annual cleanings and X-rays. By strategically using your HSA or FSA, you can cover the out-of-pocket portions of these treatments without dipping into your regular take-home pay. It is an excellent way to manage larger dental investments like full-mouth restorations.
