Supporting the health of your business: How dental and vision benefits can help employees thrive

December 1, 2024 By Social Media Collaborative

Employee health is essential for a thriving business. Despite the fact that dental and vision coverage has a significant impact on both employees and businesses, they are often overlooked. Untreated oral health issues can affect overall well-being, yet many people skip routine dental care because they don’t have access to adequate coverage. Dental and vision benefits aren’t just perks, they’re essential tools to support preventive care and productivity.

Employee health and workplace success are closely connected. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), untreated oral diseases take a huge toll on workplaces, with $45 billion lost annually in productivity. That’s a cost that can be avoided with proper routine care. Dental and vision benefits empower employees to prioritize their health. Delta Dental’s 2024 State of America’s Oral Health and Wellness Report showed that 91% of adults recognize dental visits as being as important as annual physicals, demonstrating how important it is to employees that their employers prioritize their oral health.

At Delta Dental of Colorado, we strive to meet the diverse needs of small businesses. We offer the innovative Clear Copay Dental Plan for small groups. These plans go beyond basic coverage to deliver meaningful value including more…

  • Plan options
  • Flexibility
  • Choice of providers
  • Cost savings
  • Value-adds
  • Service
  • Expertise

In 2025, we will also be introducing value-adds such as:

  • DeltaHearing in partnership with YesHearing, which gives members access to in-home hearing tests with the best pricing, as well as deep discounts on hearing aids.
  • The Lane Health Healthcare Spending Card, an innovative spending solution that creates better access to health care with no annual fee and 0% financing options for employees.
  • LifeMart, an exclusive discount program for everyday items, travel, entertainment, and more that Delta Dental of Colorado members receive at no additional cost.

When dental and vision benefits are part of a comprehensive benefits package, employees are more likely to address issues before they escalate into larger health concerns or result in absences. Our dental plans offer benefits for a low cost per employee and large network that makes it easy for employees to access care. We have more than 65 years of experience meeting the needs of small businesses, as evidenced by our 1.8 million enrollees and over 93% retention rate.

At Delta Dental of Colorado, we believe in the power of preventive care to transform lives—and businesses. By offering dental and vision benefits, you’re creating a healthier, happier workforce and taking steps toward healthier smiles and clearer vision for your team.
