AWA offers several options in dental benefits. Fully-insured benefits cover basics like dental exams, cleanings, and treatment, as well as more advanced dental issues such as endodontics, periodontics, crowns, oral surgery, bridges, dentures, and orthodontics.<\/p>\n

Dental indemnity benefits are also available and provide coverage for preventative care such as cleanings, x-rays, and covered procedures like fillings and extractions.<\/p>\n

Depending on the plan you choose, benefits are underwritten by either United Concordia or National Guardian Life Insurance Company, both A-rated carriers with a solid national network of providers.<\/p>\n
