Kaiser Permanente business dental plans help you invest in the health of your employees at a manageable cost. Our dental plans are designed to give your employees a wide range of care options with a focus on prevention, without sacrificing coverage for other dental needs.
We know that oral health is an important part of your employees’ overall health and that’s why prevention is at the core of our philosophy. Taking care of their oral health can help decrease the risk of serious medical conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, cancer, pregnancy complications, and more, which can help keep your employees healthier and more productive, while keeping costs down for your business.
Did you know that oral health is connected to overall health?
Shared health records mean our dentists see when members are due for medical screenings and can even help schedule their appointments right away, which can lead to early detection if there is a problem.
Our Traditional Dental plans combine quality and affordability. You can choose from a wide range of plan choices and mix and match a number of deductibles or office visit copays for any plan combination.
All plans come with no waiting periods or extra costs. On most plans, members can get a routine dental exam with X-rays, a cleaning, and fluoride treatment for a low copayment.
Our dental group consists of dentists, specialists, and hygienists who practice evidence-based preventive care at our 21 conveniently located Kaiser Permanente dental offices.
The Dental Choice plans offer more flexibility at an affordable price. You can give your employees access to a nationwide preferred provider organization (PPO) panel of more than 415,000 dentists. It includes more than 9,300 dentist access points in Oregon and Washington, including those in Kaiser Permanente dental facilities. Members on a Dental Choice plan don’t need a referral to see any licensed dentists.
Our voluntary dental plans give individual employees in your company the opportunity to enjoy a high-quality dental plan — at no cost to you. Employees pay 100% of the premium through payroll deduction and can access quality dental care. Voluntary dental plans are available to groups of 51 or more employees and a minimum of 25% of employees must participate in the Voluntary dental plan.
