We are frequently asked what dental insurance plans we accept and if we are accepting new patients. One of the plans we accept are the Delta Dental Premier/PPO plans. Many of the larger companies in the area offer this as their dental insurance carrier. We have partnered with Delta Dental for many years and have developed a good working relationship with their team.
They typically cover preventative services at 100%. Regular cleanings/prophys/exams are allowed two times per calendar year. This means that you can decide when during the year to have your check ups done and not worry about the "timing". This is a really nice option. One limitation of many of the Delta Dental plans that they pay only for the silver fillings, which means the patient must pay for the difference between the silver/amalgam and the tooth colored/composite filling. Another limitation is that many times they do not pay for the build up portion of a crown. Most times a build up is necessary for crown retention. So, again , this becomes an additional expense to the patient. Unfortunately, Delta Dental has started delaying approval of pretreatment estimates and dental work. For this reason, we try to have the approval prior to beginning treatment.
I hope this helps to answer some questions regarding your Delta Dental benefits. If you have more questions, please contact me.
