Meet Kelly.

Look at that winning smile.

She wants to keep it that way.

But Kelly is constantly on the go.

Between soccer games

and client meetings,

playing chauffeur

and earning that promotion,

not to mention finding time

for date nights,

Kelly's calendar is packed solid.

Understanding all the ins and outs

of her dental benefits plan,

not on the agenda.

Just finding time to make it

to the dentist's office in the first place is enough.

That's where MySmile comes in.

MySmile was built for people like Kelly,

people who want easily accessible information

right when they need it.

When she needs to make an appointment,

or even find a dentist,

she can log in from anywhere

and find quick answers and solutions

without having to bury her head

in a bunch of documents

she doesn't have time to read

or scour through a long lists of dentists

to choose the one that's right for her.

Today, Kelly has a rare few minutes

to spare during lunch,

just enough time to find a new dentist

and make an appointment.

She logs into MySmile

and uses the find a dentist tool.

It's a long list.

So she filters it by patient endorsements

to find the in-network dentist

who specializes in exactly what she needs.

This time it's just a routine checkup.

On the day of Kelly's appointment,

she's right on time and ready to go,

except for one thing.

She forgot her ID card.

No problem.

Because even though she doesn't have the card,

she does have her phone.

She just logs into MySmile from her device.

And the receptionist is able

to get a digital copy of the card.

No additional paperwork.

No phone calls.

No hassle.

And no delays.

During the checkup,

Kelly's dentist recommends a filling.

Not great, but at least it's just one.

Time to use the MySmile cost genie

to check on her out-of-pocket costs.

Cost genie has Kelly's back

when it comes to staying on top of her budget.

At Delta Dental,

we know life gets busy.

That's why we created MySmile.

All you need to do to start using the MySmile tools

is register at deltadentalwa.com.

We make it easy to keep your winning smile.
