Do you offer dental benefits to your employees? If you do, we would love to have yOur Team as our patients and if not how would you like to offer a no cost to the employer, Dental Benefit Package, to yOur Team and their families? Wouldn’t that be wonderful? No dollars out of your pocket but you can still offer a Dental Benefit Plan!!!

Dental illness is the most common of all chronic health concerns and accounts for significant loss of workforce productivity and significant health care costs. Studies show workers who get their dental care completed and maintain good oral health do far better on the job than those who do not. Oral health reduces the chance for emergency visits and the pain and discomfort that can harm a worker's focus and confidence. Workers, confident about their family's health, are more focused, productive and secure.
Workers experience 164 million hours of lost work time each year due to dental visits. The country's annual cost for general dental care is estimated at $60 billion dollars, which does not account for cranial facial care and care for oral problems, such as oral cancer or chronic pain syndromes.
Dental insurance coverage can influence people's decisions to use dental care. Studies increasingly demonstrate the health and cost implications of oral illness to well-known chronic illnesses. Poor oral health impacts diabetes, heart disease, stroke, prenatal health, pneumonia and brittle bone disease in women. Common medications for blood pressure and mood disorders can harm oral health. Dental care costs exceeded the costs for cancer and diabetes, according to the 2004 CMS Total Expenses for Conditions by Site of Service study.
Workers desire dental care as an important part of benefit programs. In fact, workers select health programs that include dental care at a greater rate than when medical benefits are offered alone. As reported by the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 80% of workers participate in benefit programs if dental care is part of the program. Approximately 92% of unionized employees and 75% of nonunion workers select dental coverage if offered. This behavior is fairly consistent nationally. However, only 46% of the nation's workers have access to dental care through an employee benefit program.
If you do not offer a dental plan for your employees you may be interested in offering a reduced fee plan for your employees through our office. This is at no cost to the employer. The plan members just come to our dental offices for treatment with their membership card and pay reduced fees for dental services that are almost 25% less than the regular office fees in the area. In addition they will get 2 free clinical exams and cancer checks per year. Details of this noninsurance dental savings plan are in the brochure enclosed. The best part is that there is no cost to the employer but at the same time you can offer a dental plan to your employees as a benefit.
