Choose the dental plan that works for you

Check your employer's enrollment site to see if dental plans are offered as part of your open enrollment options. Our dental plans are designed to help keep your teeth and gums healthier. 

Dental plans include:

Access to a large local and national network of dental providers

Coverage on hundreds of services — from fillings and root canals to oral surgery and more

Preventive care, which is covered when you use a network dental provider

Using a network provider may help you save money

Before enrolling in a plan, it’s a good idea to make sure your dentist is in our plan network. The dentists and dental care providers in our network have agreed to provide services at a discount. This means that using a network dentist will provide you with a higher level of coverage and may help lower your dental care costs.

Get 24/7 access to virtual dental visits

With virtual dental visits1 — also called teledentistry — there’s an easier way to see a dentist without going to the dentist’s office. Your dental plan includes 2 virtual visits per plan year in addition to the routine in-person exams included in your plan. Use virtual dental visits to:
  • Get two virtual dental visits at no additional cost to you.2 These virtual visits are in addition to the routine in-person exams included in your plan. 
  • Connect with a state-licensed, fully credentialed dentist by computer or mobile device — so you can get the care you need whenever, wherever3
  • Get a second opinion, treatment options or a medically necessary prescription
  • Consult with a dentist on a variety of nonemergency dental conditions, from oral pain to orthodontia needs, and more
