Multiple choice: Two networks provide more options, access, and control

What do people look for in a dental plan? Being local keeps us closely attuned to the needs of our members.

Best of both worlds: Nationwide network, local service

When it comes to choosing a dentist, people have different priorities. That’s why we offer members the choice of two different networks: the Delta Dental PPO SM network and the Delta Dental Premier® network.

Whichever network members choose, they benefit from the best of both worlds.

• Nationwide savings: As the nation’s largest dental network, we pass along economies of scale to members and offer nationwide access to thousands of highly qualified dentists. • Local service: Because we’re locally based, we pay claims quickly and directly. And you can expect to receive “neighborly” customer service from our award-winning Benefit Center.

Dentists are carefully credentialed and agree to pre-determined fees, ensuring members receive quality care at a fair price.

Some people are all about minimizing their out-of-pocket costs. Delta Dental’s PPO network was designed with their needs in mind. In fact, a recent study showed that members who visit a Delta Dental PPO network dentist can save an average of 34.4 percent of dental fees. * Others want an expansive selection of dental providers – and they’re willing to pay a bit more for the convenience. The Delta Dental Premier network – our largest – fits the bill for them.

Are price sensitive: only 2% would be willing to pay over $100 in monthly premiums; Prefer lower monthly payments over lower out of pocket expenses; and Select dentists who are in-network , conveniently located, and have caring staffs.
