Dental Benefits
What you need to know
You can choose from two plans that cover all your dental needs, from routine exams and cleanings to major services like bridgework and crowns. Although you may see any dentist you like, when you visit a network dentist, you’ll pay less and you won’t have to file a claim.

The Delta Dental website makes it simple to locate a participating dentist in your area.
Plan Features
Choose from two plans: Delta Dental Basic or Delta Dental Plus
Both plans feature:
- A nationwide network of Delta Dental dentists
- Discounted rates for using participating Delta Dental network dentists
- Preventive services at no cost to you
- Coverage for restorative services
The key difference is that Delta Dental Plus covers more services and pays a higher annual maximum benefit, so it costs more per paycheck.
You can also choose to waive dental coverage.
Know Before You Go
Before you sit down for a procedure that will cost more than $300, contact Delta Dental to request a predetermination of benefits. That way, you’ll know how much the plan will cover and how much you’ll need to pay.

If You Use an Out-of-Network Dentist
- You may pay more for services because non-participating dentists have not negotiated fee discounts with Delta Dental.
- You may need to pay the dentist yourself and then submit a claim to be reimbursed by Delta Dental.
- If you need to submit a dental claim yourself, ask your dentist for a standard American Dental Association claim form.
