As the dog days of summer wind down, you might be thinking about squeezing in one last beach trip or backyard barbecue. But here’s something else to consider: August is actually the perfect time to schedule those major dental procedures you’ve been putting off. Whether you need tooth extractions or are considering dental implants, there are several compelling reasons to book your appointment before fall rolls around.
Beat the Back-to-School Rush
Once September hits, dental offices often become flooded with appointments for kids heading back to school. By scheduling your procedure in August, you can avoid this rush and potentially secure more convenient appointment times. Plus, if you have children, you won’t have to worry about disrupting their school schedule for your dental work.
Take Advantage of Remaining Insurance Benefits
Many dental insurance plans operate on a calendar-year basis. If you’ve already met your deductible for the year, August is an ideal time to maximize your remaining benefits before they reset in January. This could mean significant savings on major procedures like dental implants or extensive restorative work.
Allow Ample Recovery Time
Some dental procedures, particularly tooth extractions or implant surgeries, require a bit of downtime for recovery. By scheduling these in August, you can take advantage of typically slower work periods and potentially use some of that leftover vacation time for a stress-free recovery at home.
Prepare for Fall and Winter Events
With the holiday season just around the corner, getting major dental work done in August gives you plenty of time to heal and adjust before all those family gatherings, work parties, and photo opportunities. Imagine showing off your new smile at Thanksgiving dinner or in those New Year’s Eve snapshots!
Enjoy the Last of Summer Foods
If you’re planning on getting work done that might temporarily limit your diet, August is a great time to indulge in all your favorite summer treats beforehand. Enjoy those corn on the cob and sticky barbecue ribs while you can!

Some dental treatments that are particularly well-suited for August scheduling include:
• Tooth extractions
• Dental implant procedures
