Delta Dental Coverage Availability & Fees
Your dental insurance gives you access to comprehensive dental services designed to keep your mouth healthy. Delta Dental provides policies for individuals and families. Your premiums allow you to benefit from a variety of discounted services to lower the amount you will pay out-of-pocket. Although every plan differs, most include:
- 100% of preventive dental care
- 80% of basic dental work
- 50% of major dental services
A co-payment allows you to receive preventive dental care with all expenses covered. You can visit your dentist twice a year for a cleaning and checkup, as recommended by the American Dental Association. Regular dental care is proven to reduce the risk of common oral health problems, like cavities and gum disease. Not only will you avoid tooth loss, but you'll also save money down the road. Researchers have found that $1 of preventive dentistry can prevent up to $50 of restorative and emergency fees.
If your dentist finds anything concerning, don't worry about a large bill. Delta Dental will pay some of the expenses after meeting your annual deductible. You can use your annual allowance to lower the amount you'll pay.
Delta Dental recommends choosing a dentist in their network to benefit from more coverage. They have pre-negotiated rates for select services with preferred dental practices. You can still use your insurance at an out-of-network dentist, but you may pay more out-of-pocket. Our office is proud to accept both in-network and out-of-network patients.
Unfortunately, your dental insurance does not last forever. Your benefits will reset at the end of the year. With less than 3% of Americans meeting or exceeding their annual limits, you could lose hundreds to thousands of dollars that could have been spent on keeping your mouth healthy. You are not reimbursed for any unused benefits and nothing accumulates. We don't want to see you through money down the drain. We will help you use what you're paying for to achieve a healthy, beautiful smile for minimal expenses.
