Learn More About the Benefits of Delta Dental
Routine oral healthcare appointments with a qualified dentist are essential to maintaining one’s oral and overall health, and dental insurance can be an excellent way to make high-quality oral healthcare much more affordable. Delta Dental is one of the most popular dental insurance providers in the nation, and the team at Woodside Dental Care is proud to be in network with them so we can provide their policyholders with essential services at significantly reduced rates. Here’s a quick look at how Delta Dental insurance works and how our staff can help you make the most of your benefits.
Delta Dental Coverage Availability and Fees
Delta Dental offers a variety of insurance plans, and they can vary significantly in how they work. Most policies offer coverage that works something like this:
- 100% coverage for essential routine oral services like cleanings, checkups, and X-rays
- 80% coverage for minor restorative work like fillings and gum disease treatment
- 50% coverage for major restorative work like dentures, extractions, and root canals
- No coverage for elective treatments like most cosmetic procedures
- Potentially some coverage for orthodontics, but this may be limited to dependents listed on your plan
HMO plans do not typically impose restrictions on policyholders other than requiring them to see in-network dentists to qualify for coverage. While PPO plans usually allow policyholders to see any dentist they like and still receive some coverage, they may impose restrictions like a waiting period that must expire before the policy takes effect, a deductible that must be met before the plan starts paying for anything, or an annual maximum that defines how much money the plan will pay in a year.
The Benefits of Seeing an In-Network Dentist
PPO policyholders can usually reduce their out-of-pocket expenses by seeing a dentist who is in network with their plan. Our office has negotiated with Delta Dental so we can provide their policyholders with exemplary oral health services at lower costs. We have extensive experience dealing with Delta Dental so we know how to maximize the benefits you pay for, and we’ll be happy to file your paperwork so you won’t have to worry about it.
