MetLife

Deliver Dental that Differentiates

Choosing the right dental benefits can be challenging – especially for a small business. With MetLife, it's easy to offer a dental plan that helps balance costs while meeting employer and employee needs.

Dental benefits are an important and highly visible part of an employer’s benefits program. Not only do 70% of employees consider dental coverage a must-have benefit, but it’s also coverage they’re likely to use regularly.

Dental Differentiators that Meet Employer and Employee Needs

  • Flexibility to see any provider — in or out of network.
  • Extensive provider network and cost savings. With a PPO network that includes 521,000+ dentist access points nationwide, MetLife’s dental plans include network discounts that average 30% to 45% below community average charges.
  • Provider quality. MetLife’s extensive vetting process before dentists join its network, continual monitoring, and re-credentialing every 3 years ensures access to quality care.

Help your small business clients deliver dental benefits that help increase employee satisfaction, retention, and recruitment; and secure a 5% discount on dental rates when bundling a second line of coverage. Learn more.
