Keep Your Team Smiling: The Perks of Offering Dental Insurance

July 29, 2025by mycalchoice

Today’s job seekers want more than just a paycheck. They want benefits that matter. Dental insurance is high on that list. In fact, 61% of people with dental coverage get it through work.

Why Offer Group Dental Insurance?

The simple answer. Because your employees want it. And it’s easier than you think to add it to your benefits with CaliforniaChoice.

Dental Options Through CaliforniaChoice

If you offer CaliforniaChoice health benefits, employees have access to multiple dental options:

  • MetLife: Two plan choices are available offering $5 office visits and no charge for oral exams, X-rays, and two cleanings per year.
  • SmileSaverSM DHMO: Two options are available. Both offer no charge office visits, oral exams, X-rays, and two cleanings per year.
  • Ameritas PPO: Four PPO options are available. Benefits include low deductibles and the ability for members to visit any dental provider they choose, in- or out-of-network. Ameritas plans also include Dental Rewards® when employees use only part of their annual maximum benefit during a plan year. Members can earn additional money toward their next year’s plan maximum. Ask your broker for details.

Or members can access reduced-fee dental services through 20,000 Dentegra® Smile Club providers. It’s one of many benefits in the Member Value Suite.

The other Member Value Suite benefits include:

Vision The EyeMed Vision One Discount Program provided by Ameritas offers discounts on frames, lenses, and eye exams. Choose from Pearle Vision, LensCrafters, Target Optical, and select independent providers.
Hearing Services The EPIC Hearing Services Plan offers savings on hearing tests, hearing aids, batteries, and ear protection. Members can save up to 50% on brand-name hearing aids.
Employee Discounts Cal Perks offers discounts on entertainment, travel, sporting events, movies, and more.
Prescription Drug Discounts The California Rx Card® offers discounts of up to 80% when using the card at chain and select independent pharmacies nationwide. The card can often reduce costs for members to less than their prescription copay with insurance.
