Problem
Traditional dental insurance caps annual coverage at $1,500—a limit that has remained the norm since the 1970s—forcing employees to pay significant out-of-pocket costs for procedures like crowns, where plans often cover only 50%. Additionally, for every $1 collected in dental premiums, insurers spend only 60¢ on actual care, leaving employees with limited value and employers with inefficient spending.
Solution
Denta replaces legacy dental insurance with a debit card that gives employees direct control over their health spending. Employers select an annual coverage amount, add their team via payroll integration or invite links, and employees use the Denta card at the dentist with real-time balance tracking. The product combines direct reimbursement with agreed-upon in-network rates at participating dental practices, so employer-funded dollars go further toward actual care. Employees see their coverage remaining after each visit, and employers fund eligible benefits directly rather than paying insurance premiums that divert money away from care.
Target Audience
Primary customers are employers seeking an alternative to traditional dental insurance for their teams, particularly those interested in self-funded dental benefits who want a straightforward product experience for their employees.
