Delta Dental of Minnesota Annual Report 2017

YOUR SMILE IS POWERFUL

We are proud to protect over 4.1 million smiles across the nation and 8,800 employer groups in Minnesota and North Dakota. Protecting these smiles is important and we, along with our oral health partners, take this responsibility seriously.

In 2017, we were fortunate to bring notable new clients into our Delta Dental family, including individual consumers and families. Once again, we are extremely proud to report that in 2017, 98 percent of our employer groups continued their relationship with us.

It is our understanding that our customer and provider partner service, nationwide network of high-quality oral health professionals, dependability and consistency, along with well established broker relationships are the distinctive differences of Delta Dental. In 2017, we developed plans to ensure we maintain our unique differences, as well as add enhanced technology and systems to meet the ever-evolving needs of our multiple stakeholders.

Lastly, I am happy to share that, through the efforts of our Delta Dental of Minnesota Foundation and corporate philanthropy, we will continue our commitment to improving access to oral health care, workforce development and education among the communities we serve throughout the state.

Thanks for choosing Delta Dental of Minnesota as your
partner in oral health.
