Wake Forest offers two comprehensive dental plans to meet the needs of the benefits eligible faculty and staff members and their eligible dependents; the High Plan and the Low Plan. Both plans cover preventive and basic services, but only the High plan offers coverage for major services and orthodontia.
The High and Low dental plans are provided by ACS Benefit Services. Participants can use both in-network and out-of-network dentists. If you use an in-network dentist, the services you receive are based on contracted rates so you’d potentially pay less out of pocket.

The plans run on a fiscal year (July 1- June 30) but the plan benefits, deductibles and out of pocket maximums are on a calendar year.
Below is a summary of these two plans. Please refer to the Dental Plan Summary Plan Description for specific details.
