About Go2Dental

History

Bret Guenther founded go2dental in 1999. The internet was changing the method of delivering healthcare information. Since it's inception, Go2Dental has evolved into a platform that acts as an all-in-one resource for members and improves the dental plan’s product offering. Members now have a place to educate themselves, assess their oral healthcare, locate dentists in their network, price out services, and keep up with current trends and news in the dental industry. We continue to serve this unique niche for dental insurance companies.
