Dental Coverage

What to Know

The dental plan, administered by Delta Dental, helps keep your teeth and mouth healthy by covering preventive care (cleanings and X-rays) at 100% and paying a portion of the cost for other types of care.

How the Plan Works

You pay less when you visit a Delta Dental PPO (DPPO) in-network dentist, and there’s no deductible to meet. Choose to get care from a:

  • A Delta Dental PPO dentist. You get the highest level of coverage and the lowest out-of-pocket costs.
  • A Delta Dental Premier dentist. You’ll pay more to see these dentists but still get lower in-network rates.
  • An out-of-network dentist. You pay the most when you see an out-of-network dentist.

You’ll also have to meet a deductible before the plan pays benefits and file claims for reimbursement [PDF].

Delta Dental offers one of the largest provider networks in the country — nearly 80% of all dentists in the U.S. are members of the Delta Dental network. Check whether your current dentist participates.
