About Superior Dental Care

Endless Commitment

In 1984, a group of practicing dentists in Southwest Ohio took notice of a growing need in dental health. While dental care costs were increasing, options for quality dental care were decreasing as a result. With an ever-widening gap among the needs of all involved, the dentists decided to act. In 1986, they officially introduced Superior Dental Care, a unique partnership formed between dental professionals and benefit providers with a shared commitment to promoting the affordable and quality dental care that everyone deserves.

We are different from many other dental benefit carriers. We are owned and directed by our participating dentists, keeping our primary focus on our original mission. We hold our profit margin to an astonishingly low 5%, putting each additional dollar toward growing our network and delivering competitive and unique products.

Over time, our network expanded into new markets beyond the state’s southwest corner, and now encompasses over 10,000 dental locations throughout Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. Our plan options have grown from our sole original choice, the network-only plan, to a number of creative and competitive plan options that allow both in and out of network access.

Yet, while we have evolved, our mission remains the same.

We continue to focus on providing the highest quality of dental benefits. We strive to ensure that our dental plans are the best solution for employers and their employees. We continue to believe that while expert service thrives on the efficiency of technology, it is still our personal touch that sets us apart.
