What You Need to Know

Your smile says a lot about your overall health and well-being. And your teeth provide key insight into any potential health issues. That’s why we offer two MetLife Dental plans, both of which provide comprehensive coverage for you and your family.

How the Dental Plans Work

Our dental plans help you maintain a healthy smile, covering important services, such as regular preventive dental care. Choose between two plans:

  • MetLife Dental Platinum PPO
  • MetLife Dental Gold PPO

Since both plans are Preferred Provider Organizations (PPO), you have flexibility in choosing a dentist that’s within the MetLife Dental network or outside of it. But you’ll pay less when you see one that’s in-network. 

When you visit an out-of-network dentist, you’re still covered, but you’ll pay more because:

  • You won’t qualify for reduced rates. 
  • Claims will be reimbursed at a lower coinsurance percentage (coinsurance is the percentage the plan pays).
  • You’ll be responsible for paying the difference between what the plan pays and the amount your out-of-network dentist charges. 
  • You may be required to pay for services up front and file a claim for reimbursement through your plan.
