How much does dental coverage cost?

You pay for dental coverage through pre-tax premiums from your paycheck. The amount you pay will depend on whether you cover just yourself or family members, too. To see your costs, log in to OKTA to access UKG.

Find a network dentist

Selecting a dentist in Guardian’s DentalGuard Preferred network will ensure you receive your plan’s highest benefits. Log in to Guardian’s website to find an in-network dentist near you, or you can search the DentalGuard Preferred network without logging in.

Request a pretreatment estimate

Request an estimate for procedures and services your dentist believes will exceed $300 (procedures such as crowns, inlays, bridges, and periodontics). For more information, call Guardian at 800-541-7846 or visit the Guardian website.

Take advantage of rollover dollars

If you submit at least one paid claim during the year and do not exceed your plan’s threshold amount, a portion of any unused amount of your plan’s annual dental maximum will roll over, so you can use these funds in the future to pay for dental care for you or your family members. Each covered family member has their own Max Rollover Account and each person must meet the requirements to have funds roll over. Learn more about this feature and see examples. To check your rollover balance, log in to the Guardian website.
