Our aim is to provide a benefit that is both attractive to employees and sustainable for your business.

Our Commitment: Finding the "Just Right" Dental Coverage
Variety of Plan Types:
Dental Preferred Provider Organizations (DPPOs/PPOs): Offer flexibility in choosing dentists, with cost savings when using in-network providers. These are often a popular choice.
- Dental Health Maintenance Organizations (DHMOs): Typically involve selecting a primary care dentist and offer predictable co-payments, often with an emphasis on preventive care.
- Indemnity Plans (Fee-for-Service): Provide freedom to choose any dentist, with the plan reimbursing a percentage of the charges.
- Discount Plans: Offer access to a network of dentists who provide services at discounted rates (not insurance, but a cost-saving option).
Key Coverage Considerations:
- Preventive Care: Most plans emphasize and often cover services like cleanings, exams, and x-rays at a high percentage (e.g., 100%).
- Basic Services: Coverage for fillings, extractions, and other routine procedures (e.g., 80%).
- Major Services: Coverage for more complex procedures like crowns, bridges, root canals, and dentures (e.g., 50%).
- Orthodontia: Options for including coverage for braces and other orthodontic treatments, a significant benefit for many families.
- Network Strength & Accessibility: Ensuring your employees have convenient access to a broad network of qualified dental professionals.
- Cost Factors: Analyzing premiums, deductibles, co-insurance, annual maximums, and waiting periods to find a plan that aligns with your budget and your employees’ financial comfort.
The demand for quality dental benefits is on the rise, with employers increasingly recognizing their role in supporting employee health and retention. The market is also evolving, with a greater emphasis on preventive care and technological advancements aimed at streamlining processes like claims.
