Dental Insurance

Unum Dental Insurance can help you enhance your benefits package without incurring direct costs to your organization.

Dental health is essential for maintaining overall health, but dental cleanings and procedures typically aren't covered by health insurance – leaving employees with bills to pay and less desire to seek dental care. Unresolved dental issues can lead to more serious problems, resulting in even more expenses and time off.

Dental insurance is one of the most popular workplace benefits. In fact, 96% of employers now offer dental coverage.¹ Besides creating a more competitive benefits package, dental coverage helps reduce out-of-pocket expenses for an array of procedures, including:

• Cleanings
• Fillings
• Sealants
• Tooth removal
• Crowns
• Dentures

For illustrative purposes. Actual coverage amounts may vary by plan.

However, the 2017 findings focus more about the general perceptions of the healthcare system. [See summary of the 2016 Health and Voluntary Benefits Survey. “87% of workers report that employment-based health insurance is extremely or very important, followed by a retirement savings plan (77 percent) and dental or vision (72 percent).”]
