Oral health is more important than you might think. The health of your mouth, teeth, and gums can have a significant impact on your general health. In fact, gum disease and tooth decay are associated with several systemic conditions. That’s why Delta Dental’s SmileWay® Wellness Benefits program provides additional teeth and gum cleanings throughout the year for enrollees with certain chronic medical conditions.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, chronic health conditions and unhealthy behaviors reduce worker productivity and cost US employers $36.4 billion a year because of employees missing days of work.
A healthier workforce can result in lower direct costs, such as insurance premiums and workers’ compensation claims, and lower indirect costs if workers miss less work due to illness. With SmileWay Wellness Benefits, members stay healthy and more productive.
Delta Dental PPO™ members and their dependents can take advantage of enhanced benefits and receive up to five cleanings per calendar or contract year if they’ve been diagnosed with one of the following chronic medical conditions:
When employees keep up with regular cleanings, they can reduce the symptoms and complications of their chronic conditions, and help prevent further health issues.
More Covered Cleanings Every Year
Once enrolled in SmileWay Wellness Benefits, Delta Dental PPO members with qualifying chronic conditions are eligible for extra routine and periodontal cleanings:
How to Enroll
For groups with this benefit, enrollees who have been diagnosed with any of the qualifying chronic conditions will need to opt in online or call Customer Service to access the expanded coverage.
Delta Dental’s SmileWay Wellness Benefits can be added to all mid-size and large group Delta Dental PPO plans. Download the SmileWay Wellness Benefits broker flyer and SmileWay Wellness Benefits member flyer to learn more.

The impact of COVID-19, rapid technological advancements, inflation, a tightening labor market, and an aging population will affect employee benefits in 2023. Delta Dental anticipates these trends for you and your clients in 2023:
A recently released KPMG CEO Outlook survey found that firms of all sizes are looking to cut costs in preparation for a possible recession. Eight out of ten CEOs anticipate a recession over the next year.
When it comes to cutting costs, small businesses don’t have to sacrifice benefits. Offering affordable dental benefits is still possible with Delta Dental’s small business dental plans – with three different price points to meet most budgets. Delta Dental PPO™ and DeltaCare® USA plans are available at each price point.
A wave of technological advances, including a huge increase in telemedicine and teledentistry, in part spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic, will continue to impact and transform dental care in 2023. These technological advances will continue to improve efficiencies, enhance patient care, and broaden accessibility. In fact, about 55% of large employers plan to increase access to virtual health services, according to a November report.
Delta Dental offers two convenient virtual dentistry options:
In a labor market still recovering from COVID-19, attracting and maintaining a high-quality workforce is more important, and difficult, than ever. As the Great Resignation continues to influence the job market, employers who are looking to expand in 2023 may find job applicants tough to find.
According to a recent survey, almost half of employees said they are currently looking or planning to look for a new job in 2023, up five percent from 2022. And a Forbes survey found that in 2022, eight percent of employees left a job they liked to find better health benefits.
A robust dental benefits package can play a key role in your clients’ success and set them apart from the competition. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 44% of civilian workers have access to dental benefits, so companies who do offer dental benefits have an extra advantage in attracting talent. What’s more, a recent survey showed that 33% say health benefits and services are the most important factor when choosing an employer.
Health care benefits are a big part of an employer’s overall salary package. And having a strong and strategic benefits package is key to recruiting and retaining valuable employees. Plus, having healthy people on the job means a higher level of employee productivity. Make sure your groups have access to the most comprehensive and affordable dental benefits by offering them Delta Dental.

Delta Dental PPO™ plan members have access to two Delta Dental networks – Delta Dental PPO and Delta Dental Premier®. Together, they make up the largest network of dentists in the nation, according to Zelis Network360®. In fact, four out of five dentists in the United States are Delta Dental network dentists. The main difference between the two networks is the amount members can save.
There are three options: PPO, Premier, and non-Delta Dental dentists. Members save the most when visiting a Delta Dental PPO dentist, a little less at a Premier dentist, and the least at a non-Delta Dental dentist.
Delta Dental PPO Network
With this large, high-quality and reliable network of dentists, members don’t need to carry paper ID cards or submit claims, since Delta Dental works directly with dentists to manage identification and claims.
By visiting a dentist in the PPO network, members pay less out-of-pocket and make their plan maximum go farther. PPO dentists have agreed to reduced fees, which means added savings and no unexpected out-of-pocket costs.
But members don’t have to sacrifice plan savings if their dentist isn’t in the PPO network.
Delta Dental Premier Network
By visiting a dentist in the Premier network, members can expect the same advantages of a high-quality network and easy access, but with more limited out-of-pocket savings.
Delta Dental Premier dentists have also agreed to discounted fees, as part of their contract with Delta Dental. Premier fees are typically higher than Delta Dental PPO fees. Like with PPO dentists, members won’t pay more than their expected share — so there are no surprise bills.
Non-Delta Dental dentists can set any price they wish.
To encourage in-network visits long term, it’s best to build incentives into plan designs that encourage visiting in-network dentists. Groups may have the following options:
The amount the plan bases its payment on is the reimbursement, also known as the maximum plan allowance. This is separate from the percentage at which certain services are covered.
Under a Delta Dental PPO plan, PPO dentists are reimbursed at PPO fees and Premier dentists are reimbursed at either Premier or PPO fees. How Premier dentists are reimbursed under a PPO plan is up to the plan’s benefits administrator, but there are advantages to each of the two options:
With the Find a Dentist tool, members can check a dentist’s network by entering their own location and choosing their preferred network from the ‘Select a Network’ drop-down menu. Each dentist’s directory listing indicates which networks the dentist participates in.
With Delta Dental’s dual network, your clients and their employees can make informed choices about their care and costs, without sacrificing quality.

For groups with two to 99 employees, the Delta Dental Small Business Program (SBP) offers a wide variety of plans and options, all with comprehensive coverage and easy access to quality care and savings from their large networks. These plans are designed to be flexible so that your small business clients can choose the options that make the most sense for their business and budget. Here is what’s new for 2023!
The leaner Core 201 plan replaces the Core 200 plan and features 100/80/0 coverage with a $750 annual maximum.
Advantage 200 and 400 plans are getting a higher annual maximum of $3,000 and adding orthodontic options for adults and children. These plans offer orthodontics for adults and children with a $1,000 or $1,500 lifetime maximum.
The employer-paid participation requirement for adult orthodontics has dropped from 25 to five employees. With this reduction, more small groups will now be eligible for this optional adult benefit.
Dual Choice 4 features the new Core 201 plan as the low plan and Advantage 200 as the high plan with limited maximum options:
These options have been added to the following plans:
Delta members with any of these conditions are entitled to additional routine and periodontal cleanings. The member must advise their dentist at the time of visit and they can submit a specific note with the electronic billing for payment consideration.
No plan changes for 2023. The 2022 rates will hold for 2023.
