Delta Dental network options
Delta Dental PPO™
Participating dentists agree to scheduled fees as payment in full. This plan allows enrolled patients to visit any dentist, but offers additional savings when a patient sees a Delta Dental PPO-network dentist.
Delta Dental Premier®
Participating dentists agree to adhere to Delta Dental processing policies and to bill a patient at the pre-negotiated fee, accepting that fee as payment in full. This plan allows enrolled patients to visit any dentist, but offers additional savings when they visit a Delta Dental Premier dentist, and often greater savings when seeing a Delta Dental PPO-network dentist.
DeltaCare® USA
Delta Dental's national Dental Health Maintenance Organization (DHMO). Enrolled patients must select from the DeltaCare® network of primary care dentists. These dentists manage their patients' comprehensive dental needs, including referrals to specialists, and each participating dentist receives a monthly capitation amount.
Medicare Advantage™
The Delta Dental Medicare Advantage network is one of our five national network-based programs. This network supports the growing number of Americans who are choosing Medicare Advantage plans that work with Delta Dental to offer dental benefits.
Join our network
More Americans choose Delta Dental than any other dental insurance company. This is one reason why more dentists join our network than any other.
