ALISO VIEJO, Calif. -- SafeGuard Dental & Vision today introduced its newest dental managed care plans, the SafeGuard SGX SGX Singapore Exchange
SGX Supergreenx (trance/electronic musician) 
 Series. These plans are designed to enhance a client's existing wellness initiative and include important preventive procedures such as oral cancer screenings, added annual cleanings and additional periodontal periodontal /peri·odon·tal/ (per?e-o-don´t'l)

 maintenance. SafeGuard also enhanced the SGX Series with many procedures its members have requested, including bleaching, veneers, and general anesthesia Anesthesia, General Definition

General anesthesia is the induction of a state of unconsciousness with the absence of pain sensation over the entire body, through the administration of anesthetic drugs.
.

Each plan in the SafeGuard SGX Series covers more than 330 dental procedures, which is considerably more than most dental managed care plans offered in the market today. The plans also provide reduced fees on an expanded number of procedures not included in the benefits schedule. This will ensure that, should a dentist prescribe a treatment plan with services not part of the 330 identified procedures, the member will still receive value with the SafeGuard SGX plans.

In announcing the launch of the SafeGuard SGX Series, Steve Baker, SafeGuard's President and Chief Operating Officer Chief Operating Officer (COO)

The officer of a firm responsible for day-to-day management, usually the president or an executive vice-president.
, commented, "This new line of dental managed care plans again puts SafeGuard in the forefront with innovative plan designs by providing the dental benefit programs our customers are requesting. In addition, the plans reinforce the importance of preventive care, which ties to the wellness programs many organizations have today. Wellness has always been an integral part of SafeGuard's dental and vision plans."
