impact of HSAs on dental?

It looks like HSAs might be really big.
Does anyone have a guess about what the impact might be on dental insurance?
I have not been able to find anything published about this.

Probably increase sales, since there should be more money available from individuals or small groups.

That's an interesting point of view. I was thinking that people with an HSA would feel that they have less need for dental insurance. They can just get reimbursed out of their account. At least for people with healthier mouths, it would be more cost effective to do it that way. Since dental is not catastrophic, it will be interesting to see how it fares now that we have HSAs.
