Delta Dental of Arizona expands its benefit offerings statewide addressing whole-person health

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (Sep 9, 2026) — Delta Dental of Arizona announces the introduction of DeltaWellness by Delta Dental®, a new brand that brings together the organization's growing suite of health and wellness offerings under one unified umbrella. Also introduced today is DeltaLife®, a new portfolio of life, disability and supplemental health insurance products.

The launch reflects Delta Dental of Arizona's continued commitment to serving employers, brokers and members with the products and services they need most. While expanding access to quality, affordable dental benefits remain the company’s core focus, the introduction of DeltaWellness by Delta Dental reflects a growing demand from employers and brokers to access more benefits through a single carrier relationship. DeltaWellness by Delta Dental branding will now be used across the organization’s DeltaVision® and DeltaLife product portfolios, as well as bundled benefit offerings that combine dental, vision, life, disability and supplemental health insurance products. Together, these offerings provide employers and brokers with streamlined billing, fewer carriers to manage, integrated benefits administration and a single point of contact for ongoing service and support.

“For more than 50 years, Delta Dental of Arizona has earned the trust of employers, brokers and members by delivering quality dental benefits backed by exceptional service,” said Michael Jones, president and chief executive officer of Delta Dental of Arizona. “The introduction of DeltaWellness by Delta Dental builds on that trusted foundation while reflecting how today's buyers want to purchase and manage benefits. They want simplicity, flexibility and partners who can support a range of health and wellness solutions. This positions us to meet those evolving needs while continuing to invest in the oral health advancements that anchor our mission of providing a path to better health and wellness.”

Additionally, the new DeltaLife portfolio expands Delta Dental of Arizona's ability to serve employer groups by offering life, disability and supplemental health products in combination with group dental coverage. DeltaLife products are designed to help provide financial protection for employees and their families while giving employers access to benefits that are easier to understand, administer and support.

“DeltaLife helps employers strengthen their benefits package with coverage that provides financial protection and income stability for employees and their families during tough times,” said Jones. “These benefits can help businesses attract and retain talent by giving employees greater confidence in their financial security. Businesses are assured top-notched quality and reliability because these services are offered by a partner that brokers, business owners and HR professionals already know and trust.”

Currently available to Arizona-based businesses with 2-99 employees, the DeltaLife portfolio initially includes life insurance, short- and long-term disability insurance and accidental death and dismemberment plans. Value-added services like an Employee Assistance Program, bereavement counseling, identity theft support and travel assistance are also available with DeltaLife. Supplemental health products—including critical illness, hospital indemnity and accident insurance—are expected to hit the market later this year. Arizona businesses with more than 100 employees will be able to purchase DeltaLife products sometime in 2027.

While Delta Dental of Arizona continues to expand, its principal commitment to delivering quality dental benefits, improving oral health and supporting underserved communities remains unchanged. The announcement continues a year of significant growth and innovation for Delta Dental of Arizona. Earlier this year, the Delta Dental of Arizona Foundation announced more than $838,000 in grants to 37 Arizona nonprofit organizations, including its inaugural two-year, $100,000 Innovation Grant supporting new approaches to improving community health. Also, this past spring, Delta Dental of Arizona announced its partnership with Arizona State University to launch the Student-centered Medical Instruction and Learning in Oral Health powered by Artificial Intelligence (SMILE-AI) program at ASU’s John Shufeldt School of Medicine and Medical Engineering, a first-of-its-kind initiative that will integrate oral health education into medical school training and help prepare future physicians to deliver more comprehensive, team-based care.

“As we continue to grow, our purpose remains the same, helping Arizonans live healthier lives,” said Jones. “We will continue investing in critical initiatives, expanding access to care, supporting our nonprofit partners and developing innovative solutions that improve health and wellness for communities across Arizona.”
