Most of Delta Dental's plans include out-of-network benefits that can be used in our office. If your employer offers dental coverage you can use your benefits with us. We are out-of-network providers so you can take advantage of our base fees and utilize your dental benefits.
The gist: If you don’t have a history of gum disease or need a dental implant, or much dental work, Delta Dental or some other traditional insurance could be a good option. If you actually need dental work dental insurance WILL NOT HELP past $1,500. You pay over $750 for that possible ‘benefit’ along with all the limitations and exclusions they impose.
