Dental Insurance at Work

Group dental insurance can help you maximize your oral health and minimize out-of-pocket costs for routine dental check-ups, expensive procedures and most things in between.1

PPO Plans

Choose from an extensive network of dentists and specialists across the country.

Our Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plans offer the flexibility to visit any licensed dentist, so you’re sure to find a provider who meets your needs.

  • Large network of dentists, and the freedom to visit any dentist in or out-of-network.
  • Additional savings when you visit a participating dentist. Participating dentists have agreed to accept negotiated fees for covered services, which are typically 30-45% less than the average fees charged by dentists in the same community.1,2
  • No paperwork in or out-of-network, if your dentist submits your claims for you.
  • Service where and when you want it on our secure member website.
  • Preventive care, such as cleanings, is usually 100% covered in-network.

1 Savings from enrolling in a dental benefits plan will depend on various factors, including the cost of the plan, how often participants visit the dentist and the cost of services rendered.

2 Based on internal analysis by MetLife. Negotiated fees refers to the fees that in-network dentists have agreed to accept as payment in full for covered services, subject to any copayments, deductibles, cost sharing and benefit maximums.  Negotiated fees are subject to change.
