Delta Dental

Delta Dental PPO is a dental plan designed to manage the cost of dental services. Using preferred dentists will minimize your out of pocket expenses.

Delta Dental is the oldest and largest provider of group dental benefits in the United States. One out of every four Americans who have dental insurance is covered by Delta Dental.

Delta is the "original," the first organization specifically designed to provide pre-paid dental insurance. It remains our one and only specialty.

Delta was started by the dental profession at the urging of labor unions, who sought to make dental care a fringe benefit of workers, like medical care.

Since writing the first group dental programs in the country in 1954, we have pioneered a system of quality assurance and cost management still unmatched by any other carrier today.

Delta's national network of nearly 161,000 dental offices is the largest in the nation. That means nearly three out of four practicing dentists guarantee a limit to out-of-pocket costs to subscribers covered by Delta.

Delta Dental provides coverage to 46 million Americans and their families through 80,000 workplace-based dental plans. For employers with people in more than one state, Delta offers a national network, seamless cost-managed benefits and centralized claims processing.

Please note: This is a brief description of your Delta Dental POS plan. It should be used only as a guide. It does not contain complete details of the plan. The Dental Blue POS Subscriber Certificate, any applicable riders, and Orthodontic Endorsement define the terms and conditions, including limitations and exclusions, of your dental care coverage in greater detail. If questions arise concerning coverage, the certificates riders, and Orthodontic Endorsement will govern. You can get copies of the certificate, riders, and Orthodontic Endorsement from Customer Service or your plan sponsor.

Your Dentist
If you already have a dentist and you want to know if he or she is in the Delta Dental PPO network, you may call the dentist, call Customer Service at (800) 932-0783 or look in Our Delta Dental  PPO Directory of Providers.

Your Benefits
Your benefits are subject to the co-insurance and benefit maximums chosen by the Plan. Payments are based on whether or not you receive services from an in-network or out-of -network provider. Many covered services have specific time or age limits associated with them. For example:

  • We will pay for cleanings only once each six months
  • Fluoride treatments are only for members under age 19
  • Major restorative services such as crowns, bridges, and dentures have a 60 month time limit, etc. This means you will only receive benefits if five years has elapsed since the last time your tooth was restored.
