Dental health can affect your overall health

The University's dental insurance plan can help you protect your oral health.

We have partnered with Delta Dental to offer two plan options available for all benefits-eligible faculty and staff, their spouses and dependent children.

Review the plan options below.

When is dental insurance effective? 

Dental insurance is effective the 1st of the month following your hire date or date of eligibility. Orthodontics benefits and major services are effective after 12 months of continuous coverage without a waiver of waiting period.
