Delta Dental Networks

As a Delta Dental PPO Plus Premier subscriber, you have access to two of Delta Dental's extensive national networks- Delta Dental PPO, with more than 283,000 participating dentist locations and Delta Dental Premier, the largest dental network in the country with more than 358,000 dentist locations. Three out of four dentists nationwide participate in one or both of these networks.

  • Both networks offer discounted fees and a no balance billing policy.
  • You will enjoy great benefits when you receive your dental care from a participating dentist in either the Delta Dental PPO or Delta Dental Premier networks. 
  • You will receive good value from Delta Dental Premier network dentists who generally accept discounted fees. You will enjoy the greatest savings when visiting Delta Dental PPO network dentists due to even deeper discounts.
  • After you meet your annual deductible, you pay coinsurance for dental services under this plan.
  • If you choose to receive services from a non-participating dentist, you will have higher out-of-pocket costs as the Delta Dental contract rates and the no balance billing policy does not apply.
