Multi-year rate guarantees are offered, ensuring that employer satisfaction and savings are long-lasting.

Plan options

Dental benefits are not one-size-fits all. See all that Guardian offers from funding options, plan features, network, and service.

Maximum Rollover

Add more value to your client’s dental plan with the option to roll over unused portions of your annual maximum in case you need it in the future.

PPO Tiered Options

PPO plans offer the flexibility to see any dentist and added savings when members see a dentist in our strong and growing network. Guardian members have two or three tiers of benefits and may save the most with a dentist listed in our top provider tiers. We make it easy by designating the dentists offering among the most savings on our Find a Provider site and app. This is another example of how you can add additional savings and choice to your clients’ dental offering

ASO

ASO plans (also known as self-funded plans) can make sense for employers of all sizes looking to satisfy employees while controlling costs. Guardian’s ASO plans are available for any case size, offering cost savings, flexible funding options, and efficient claims processing for quick and accurate claims payment. Plus, we offer a unique level-funded option for clients who may be new to ASO.
