Learn how healthy teeth can lead to healthy employees.

Why dental insurance?

Help protect your smile and your health with affordable dental insurance. Unfortunately, dental plans are usually an afterthought to medical health care coverage because there’s no legal obligation for a business of any size to provide the benefit. Dental insurance, like health insurance, is a definite plus in recruiting and retaining top talent. Good oral hygiene is an essential component of a person’s overall health.

As you begin to explore various dental plans, below is what you can expect the structure of a typical plan to include:

  • Preventative Services
    An oral exam once every six months, may include x-rays, fluoride treatment, etc.
  • Basic Services
    Fillings, repair and maintenance of crowns, bridges, & dentures, and general anesthesia.
  • Major Services
    Single crowns, periodontal surgery, implants, complex extractions, and bridges and dentures

All of these benefits and levels depend on your specific dental plan. This illustration is meant to provide a general understanding of what to expect.

Although, the above illustration is simply an example, an employer can customize their dental plan to fit your groups needs and budget.
