Did you know that good oral health, along with regular dental check-ups, can help you avoid cavities, gingivitis and other serious infections?
In fact, the American Hygienists’ Association estimates that every $1 spent on prevention in oral health care can actually save you $8 to $50 on more costly restorative and emergency procedures.1
Smile … our Anthem Dental plans offer you quality benefits at a price you can afford.
Your employer may offer one or more of the following:
 | Anthem Dental Traditional plans do not feature a provider network, but instead give members the freedom to visit the dentists of their choice. With these plans, there are no networks or referrals to worry about. |
| Anthem Dental PPO plans give members the option to visit dentists in or out of our extensive network. However, network providers agree to accept our maximum benefit allowance (including the member’s deductible and coinsurance) as payment in full. This means members will not be billed for the difference. |
