Early Smiles™: Kids are 100% covered

  • From the time that first tooth comes in, a child has access to regular dental care that positively impacts overall health and well-being.
  • With a strong network that includes pediatric specialists, employees can find a participating dentist near them.

Diminishing Deductible™: $0 out of pocket after the third year

Annual plan deductible lowers each year for each employee and their dependents. After year three, the deductible reaches $0, which means the employee and their dependents no longer need to meet a deductible for as long as they stay on the dental plan. Consumers ranked diminishing deductibles the number one enhancement they’d want in a dental plan.

Consumers ranked diminishing deductibles the number 1 enhancement in a dental plan*

Why it’s valuable:

  • Diminishing Deductible encourages participation by rewarding employees for staying on their dental plan for at least three years
  • If they’re staying loyal to their dental plan, it means they’re also staying loyal to your company
  • With more savings each year, Diminishing Deductible incorporates financial wellness into your employees’ plan for maintaining oral wellness.
  • Deductibles can start at either $75, $50, or $25 and go down each year

How a diminishing deductible rewards loyalty with tangible savings

Rich Lombard, a regional manager at Guardian, explains how the diminishing deductible benefit rewards consistency and loyalty.
