Case Studies by Z Dental: COVID-19 and Dental Insurance Companies
Predicament in the Southwest
For an insurance company in the Southwest, the closure of local economies due to COVID-19 led to a decline in insurance payouts.
With a surplus of premium dollars, the insurance company decided to rebate their groups a portion of the premium dollars. The groups maintained discretion on how to allocate the funds, and may or may not have used the funds for dental related products or services for their employees.
Demand for preventive care increased, although members were either not able or were too concerned about the pandemic to visit their dentist.
After refunding a large portion of premium dollars back to their groups, the insurance company now has concerns.
As members are finally starting to visit their dentists again, without professional preventative care or without tools provided to maintain oral health, the insurance company is concerned that claims for restorative care may exceed premiums.
Premiums can’t be increased until renewal and increased premiums pose a risk to competitive advantage.
Big Win in the Northeast
An insurance company in the Northeast decided to reward their members with a Z Sonic Pulse sonic toothbrush for getting back into the dental office for preventive care.
They initially estimated 15,000 members would take advantage of the program. Over 150,000 members accepted the offer and visited their dental office for regular preventative dental care.
The insurance company was thrilled with the results of the program and their provider network was ecstatic to have patients return to the dental office. They stated this was a big win for them, a win for their members, and a win for the providers.
Possibilities in the Midwest
An insurance company in the Midwest is reviewing a program to provide a Z Sonic Pulse toothbrush to every member who renews their policy. Each year after that they plan to give members 4 free brush heads at each renewal date – a year’s supply.
(ADA recommends replacing brush heads every 3 months).
In 2020, 39% of Americans cut back on some type of insurance policy due to economic pressures of COVID-19. The program in review provides an incentive for members to renew.

WHY SONIC TECHNOLOGY: The Difference Maker in At-Home Preventative Care
- Manual brushing and oscillating powered toothbrushes rely solely on mechanical action to remove plaque.
- A differentiator of sonic technology is the combination of both mechanical action and hydrodynamics to remove plaque.
- The high-frequency vibrations create acoustic waves in the saliva and create small bubbles of oxygen.
- The bubbles get to hard to reach places and remove and disrupt the formation of plaque, creating an unfavorable environment for bacteria.
- During a 6-month clinical evaluation, a high-frequency sonic toothbrush had 20.1% greater reduction in plaque and a 29.0% greater reduction in interproximal plaque, compared to an oscillating-rotating power toothbrush
