§ 01 — For Health Plans & Insurance Partners

Since 1997, the quiet partner behind dental-plan member engagement.

We've been the in-house fulfillment partner for dental plans — commercial, federal, and association — since 1997. Member-engagement programs, group benefit drops, FEDVIP brochures, white-label oral care. If you've handed a sonic toothbrush or water flosser to a member in the last decade, there's a good chance it came from our Chandler facility.

Three ways we work with plans

01

Employer-paid group buys

Your group sales team sells employers on co-branded oral-care kits as a wellness benefit — gifted at onboarding, open enrollment, anniversaries, or holiday moments. Custom imprinting available.

02

Member discount programs

Offer your members the Z Sonic Pulse & Water Flosser combo at a member-exclusive price — a real, redeemable benefit promoted through your existing member channels.

03

In-lieu-of-cleaning swap

At re-enrollment, members choose: their second annual cleaning, or a Z Dental kit shipped home. Daily prevention 365 days a year for the cost of one office visit.

We don't compete with your team — we equip them. Co-branded packaging, drop-shipping, member portals, claims-integrated benefit drops. The infrastructure is already built.

§ 02 — A Recent Partnership

How one campaign turned into a multi-account engine.

We can't tell you the carrier — but we can show you what happened.

Anonymized case study

One East Coast insurance partner. One member-engagement program. Ten times the expected uptake — and two reorders since.

01
The program A regional dental plan launched a member-engagement campaign and projected a fulfillment volume of ~15,000 units.
02
The reality Member uptake came in 10× higher than projected. We fulfilled 150,000 units in six weeks from our Chandler facility — no third-party delays, no missed SLAs.
03
The aftermath That same account team came back with two additional reorders for adjacent groups — using unspent benefit dollars before year-end. The program became a repeatable model, not a one-off.

§ 03 — For Employers & Corporate Wellness

An oral-health benefit that pays for itself.

For self-funded employers, oral health is one of the most underused levers in your benefits stack. Most employees skip their second cleaning. We turn that into a year-round prevention program at a fraction of what an unused cleaning would have cost.

The Choice Model

At open enrollment, employees pick: keep their two cleanings, or take one cleaning plus a Z Sonic Pulse & Water Flosser kit shipped home.

  • Kit cost ($69.20, min. 100 units) is less than a single plan-allowed cleaning — the swap is cost-neutral to positive on day one.
  • Device provision drives daily adoption from 42% to 90% (BMC Oral Health, 2024).
  • Custom co-branding available — your company logo, seen twice a day, in every employee's home.
  • Plug-and-play with self-funded plans administered by Aetna, Cigna, BCBS and others.

§ 04 — The Clinical Case

Shipping beats recommending. The evidence is overwhelming.

Recommending a device produces noise. Putting one in someone's hand produces behavior change. Every credible study on oral-care adoption finds the same thing.

Daily adoption at one year when an oral-care device is provided — versus 42% when merely recommended.

§ 05 — Something We're Proud to Support

Get people flossing.

Z Dental publishes Improving Dental — an evidence-first oral-health library. Plain-language articles on flossing, gum disease, and the mouth-body connection, every claim traced to its primary source: CDC, Cochrane, peer-reviewed research. No products. No pitch. Just the case for prevention, written so a benefits director, a hygienist, or a parent can use it.

§ 06 — About Z Dental

A silver Mercedes in the driveway.

New Hampshire · Spring 1997

In the spring of 1997, a silver Mercedes pulled into Paul Zajas's driveway in New Hampshire. Two men got out — representatives from a German-owned manufacturer's American line in Massachusetts. They had driven up because Paul had written to them. He had no dental-industry credentials. By the end of the afternoon, they had agreed to supply Paul with product off two of their idle molds and decided to bet he could sell it.

The brushes sold. The orders came in. Since 1997, that bet has produced four hundred thousand devices, thirty-five insurance partnerships, and a quiet distribution center in Chandler, Arizona that ships preventive kits bigger competitors say can't be shipped.
