Why MetLife Dental?

What if your dentist isn’t in our network? With MetLife, you can go to the dentist you’re most comfortable with and still get some benefits - because we recognize you are more likely to go regularly when you trust who you're seeing. But with over 127,000 in-network dentist locations, there's a good chance your dentist is part of MetLife’s Preferred Dentist Program (PDP). Should you go on vacation within the U.S. or even get transferred, you’ll be able to find a dentist in our network - anywhere in the U.S. And thanks to an arrangement with AXA Assistance, we can even refer you to a dentist if you are living or when traveling outside the continental United States.¹ For further information, please contact AXA Assistance at 866-384-2771 (From U.S.) or 312-935-9210 (Collect).

When you see MetLife in-network (PDP) dentist, you're assured of getting care from a dentist who has met MetLife's credentialing standards. MetLife reviews our in-network (PDP) dentists' credentials on a regular basis.

Your out-of-pocket expenses may be lower if you see an in-network (PDP) dentist, since in-network (PDP) dentists agree to accept MetLife's negotiated fees as payment in full. Typically, these fees are as much as 10-35% less than the average fees charged by dentists in the same community. And keep in mind: those negotiated fees² even apply to non-covered services like cosmetic dentistry and extra cleanings - so you can save even more.³

What if you don’t like filling out forms? With MetLife, there’s less paperwork because your dentist can submit your claims for you. Your dentist can even get a pre-treatment estimate while you’re in the dental office.⁴ And any time you want to check coverage, claim status or history, or get a pre-treatment estimate you can get a quick answer from us via the Internet, phone or fax.

We offer a Standard and a High option, and both cover a wide array of important services. Each is designed to cover you and your family for less than you might expect. Simply choose the plan that best fits your needs. And, employees can pay their premiums with pre-tax dollars via payroll deduction,⁵ making our coverage even easier to afford.

MetLife has been offering dental coverage for more than 46 years. So we have the knowledge and experience needed to provide valuable dental benefits that can help people pay for dental services, which they can use to keep their mouths healthy.
