What is the DentalGuard Preferred network?

DentalGuard Preferred is Guardian's primary in-network PPO network. Dentists in this network have agreed to negotiated fee schedules, which means lower out-of-pocket costs for Guardian members.

Does Guardian Dental offer a rollover benefit?

Yes, some Guardian dental plans include a Rollover Max feature where a portion of your unused annual maximum rolls over to the following year, provided you used your plan for at least one preventive visit.

Does Guardian Dental cover implants?

Dental implant coverage varies by plan. Some Guardian PPO plans cover implants as a major service at 50%. Contact Guardian at 1-888-482-7342 or review your Certificate of Insurance to confirm your coverage.

What is Guardian Dental's annual maximum?

Guardian PPO plans typically offer annual maximums between $1,000 and $3,000, depending on the plan tier chosen by your employer. The rollover feature can effectively increase your available benefit over time.
