2009 Dental Overview

The dental options are designed to help you with expenses involved in maintaining good health. Your options are the:

  • - Basic Plan
  • - Value Plan
  • - Premium Plan

When you enroll, you choose both a Dental Plan and network - Aetna or MetLife. You may see any dentist you choose for dental care. However, if you receive care from a network provider, your costs will be lower because network dentists have agreed to charge participants a negotiated rate.
