Group dental insurance, one of the most desired and used employee benefits, promotes oral health and also contributes to good overall health. The carriers we work with have strong and flexible product portfolios that feature a wide range of deductibles, coinsurance and maximums. They also boast some of the nation’s largest provider networks. This combination helps you design the benefit that is right for you. Of course, availability of options may vary by state.
