- Savings—our network negotiated fees average 43% below the average dental fees in the same area1
- The ability to keep your dentist, your current network access and dental benefits
- Coverage for hundreds of services/procedures, including cleanings, X-rays, fillings, sealants, root canals, crowns and orthodontics2
