Our dedication to – and belief in – the small-business market is stronger than ever. Despite the challenges posed by the Affordable Care Act, smaller employers have realized the value of dental benefits, and are taking steps to ensure that dental benefits are a part of their organization’s overall benefit picture.

Delta Dental can help organizations complete that picture. All of our plans – every one – work with the ACA. You don’t have to bundle medical and dental coverage. You can have the Delta Dental plan and coverage you want and have it work with the ACA. We can make it happen.

If there’s one overriding theme to the recent changes in the healthcare landscape, it’s this: Healthcare is about making choices, so choose wisely. Delta Dental has the products, but more importantly, Delta Dental has the people to help you make the right healthcare choices for your business – choices that ideally include powerful, affordable, and health-enhancing dental benefits, backed by the top service team in the business.

Call us. We’re here to help.

What makes us different makes us better.

Service: OurS iS better.

It’s fast, local, and expert. Our Benefit Center was just named North America’s No. 1 Call Center.* A real person talks to you in 25 seconds or less, and we answer your questions on that first call 99 percent of the time. What other dental-insurance company can say that?

SavingS: we deliver mOre.

Delta Dental offers more ways to save. Our premiums are affordable, our plans reward people for taking care of their teeth, and they save members the hassle of filling out claim forms. And our Delta Dental PPO dentists save employees money on procedures fromcleanings to crowns.

netwOrkS: OurS are bigger.

Delta Dental has Wisconsin’s largest dentist networks. More than 90 percent of Wisconsin dentists belong to a Delta Dental network. When members ask, “Is my dentist in the network?” we make it easy to say yes! Our Delta Dental Premier network saves employees money even if a dentist isn’t part of our Delta Dental PPO network.

wellneSS: we imprOve health.

Delta Dental works with existing employee-wellness programs on simple ways to use dental benefits to make entire families healthier.

philanthrOpy: we take care Of wiScOnSin.

One of the best things about Delta Dental is that we’re not-for-profit. We are committed to giving back to the communities we serve, as we’ve been doing for the last 50 years. We try to ensure everyone in Wisconsin has access to quality oral healthcare.

reSearch: we SuppOrt it, and we put it tO wOrk.

Delta Dental supports research that could end tooth decay. That could save millions of dollars in healthcare costs – and make future generations healthier.
