Dental networks explained

< Return to Understanding your dental coverage



One of the best ways to get the most value out of your dental coverage is to visit a dentist who is in your plan’s network. In-network dentists agree to provide you with services at discounted rates and file all claims forms for you.

The majority of our plans give you access to our Delta Dental PPOSM or Delta Dental Premier® network.

What’s the difference between Delta Dental PPO™ and Delta Dental Premier®?

Dentists who have agreed to provide treatment to patients covered by a Delta Dental policy are called in-network dentists. These dentists may be either Delta Dental Premier® or Delta Dental PPO℠ dentists.

Delta Dental PPO™ gives you the lowest out-of-pocket costs. In-network dentists agree to accept lower fees for procedures, providing larger discounts that result in savings for Delta Dental members.

Delta Dental Premier® is one of the largest dental networks in the country. Seeing an out-of-network dentist is always an option. However, by seeing an out-of-network dentist, you will be missing out on the discounts available to you.
