Our dental plans offer access to care that fit your needs and help you achieve good oral health. Dental check-ups are more than just getting your teeth cleaned. Visiting the dentist regularly allows your dentist to monitor your total oral health and that can have a direct impact on your overall health. Our mouths are the entry point to the rest of our bodies. Good oral care, such as daily brushing and flossing, keep bacteria under control and prevent bacteria from spreading to other parts of our body.
Read the attached flyer and watch this short video to learn about how you can strengthen your oral health, and overall health as a result.

The DPPO plan (plan 1 or plan 2) may be right for me because: › I have the freedom to visit any licensed dentist or specialist. › I don’t need a referral to visit any specialist. › My dental plan will cover eligible dental expenses after I meet any applicable waiting periods and meet any deductibles. › My plan is based on coinsurance levels that determine the percentage of costs covered by the plan for different types of services.
