Delta Dental Coverage Availability & Fees
Delta Dental is a nationwide provider of comprehensive plans for individuals and families. The policies focus on prevention to stop common oral health issues from occurring in the first place. However, they also provide coverage for many restorative services, so you can treat issues early, even if money is tight. Although every policy differs, most plans include:
- 100% coverage for preventive services
- 80% coverage for minor restorative services
- 50% coverage for major restorative services
You can get a cleaning and checkup every 6 months after a co-payment. Routine dental care is proven to prevent tooth decay and gum disease to avoid costly treatments later. Researchers have found that you can save $50 on restorative and emergency services for every $1 spent on prevention.
If your dentist finds anything concerning, you don’t have to wait to have it treated. After reaching your yearly deductible, Delta Dental will pay a portion of the expense until hitting your annual limit. With only 3% of Americans meeting or exceeding their yearly benefits, you don’t have to worry about paying a large bill.
Delta Dental recommends choosing a dentist in their network to benefit from more coverage at the time of services. They have pre-negotiated rates with preferred dental practices to keep dentistry affordable. You can use your dental insurance at any dentist that accepts your policy, even if they are out-of-network. You’ll have to pay the difference between the dentist’s fees and your insurance’s allotted amount.
We are proud to accept both in-network and out-of-network patients. We strive to keep a healthy smile accessible and affordable for everyone.
