How dental insurance can benefit your clients

The right employer dental insurance plan can be a financial win for your clients. Whether you service small businesses or large, or even somewhere in between, Delta Dental has dental coverage options that deliver cost-saving advantages for both your clients and their employees. Let’s talk more about this win-win.

Attract and retain top talent

Businesses that offer quality, affordable dental coverage as part of their benefits package can gain an edge in recruiting and maintaining a strong workforce. How? Because it’s what candidates want. With oral health’s overwhelming connection to overall health, group dental insurance is a top priority.

  • 86% of U.S. adults feel dental insurance is essential to protecting their oral and overall health.¹
  • 91% of adults believe that a dental visit is as important as an annual physical.¹
  • 88% of employees say better health, dental and vision insurance are factors they consider when choosing a job.²

Happy, healthy employees

Workers miss more than 92 million hours of work annually due to unplanned dental visits.³ So, help your clients see the value in offering good preventive care plans that improve the oral health and overall health of their employees. Because fewer visits to the dentist for major, time-consuming care means more time spent happy and healthy at work helping their business grow. It also leads to lower overall health care costs for their workforce.

And don’t forget to mention how our affordable dental plans keep their budgets in mind to help protect their bottom line.
