"The Dental Optimizer gives providers the technology they need to connect with the Delta Dental
members they currently serve as well and prospective patients in their area. Practices get a personalized dashboard
with real-time feedback, allowing them to identify opportunities to generate more appointments. Another popular feature
for providers is the fact they have control over their profiles and the criteria for which they can be found in the
Dentist Finder.
The Dental Optimizer also gives providers the ability to accept appointment requests online.
Best of all, the Benefits Dashboard, Risk Assessments, Cost Calculator, and Ask‑a‑Dentist all help to drive many
of those appointments. These tools remove many of the barriers that often keep people from taking the final step
of booking an appointment. As you can imagine, this has a huge impact on our most at‑risk population while
generating more appointments for our providers."
"I really like our new Dental Tools powered by Dental Optimizer. It houses a lot of information all in one place. The provider directory, profiles, and reviews are extremely beneficial. We cannot recommend a dentist to a member so this is a great resource when members are looking for a new dentist! The procedure estimate is a lot more robust and is helpful the estimate takes into consideration the remaining maximum. The design is clean and easy for our members to follow."
"Before launching our new Dental Tools powered by Dental Optimizer, our members did not have the ability to
see provider reviews, book appointments, calculate out‑of‑pocket costs, or have questions answered by local providers through
our website. Today, our members can quickly access their annual maximum, deductible, year‑to‑date savings, EOB's and more—all
from a single, easy to read dashboard.
Similarly, our providers had no tools or profiles available to them online. They now
have the ability to create content‑rich profiles linked to our directory. They also have a suite of digital marketing tools,
including a dashboard with real‑time feedback and information that can be used to grow their practice.
"Empowering members with
self‑service tools to improve their oral health was one of the best decisions we've made. Today, our award‑winning Dental Tools
not only help us remain competitive but also allow us to lead the market in ways that further our mission and purpose as a company."
