Delta Dental has a unique dental plan available exclusively to General Motors, Chrysler, and Ford retirees, including UAW-represented GM and Chrysler retirees. These comprehensive plans operate with the same easy administration and nationwide service as we have been providing for most of the auto industry's employer-sponsored programs for over 30 years.
In retirement, maintaining good dental care is more important than ever for the prevention and treatment of dental disease. Evidence of the interconnectedness of oral and overall health continues to expand, and poor oral health has been linked to serious medical problems affecting older Americans, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Statistics show that people with dental benefit coverage tend to seek routine treatment more frequently than non-covered individuals, and Delta Dental has designed the plan to offer affordable options for the full range of services.
Many patients rely on explanations and advice from their trusted dental care provider, and we have several online and print communications that will give dentists and staff members information about the programs, options, and enrollment to help patients make informed decisions about continuing dental coverage.
