PPO plans help you pay for dental care without offering fixed prices. When you see a dentist in your network, the dentist agrees to charge lower prices, and your plan shares some of the cost⁴. Even if you see a dentist who’s out of your network, our plans will still help pay for covered procedures, although you'll likely save less than you would at a Delta Dental dentist.
DHMO-type plans have fixed prices for procedures, known as copays. DHMO-type premiums tend to be lower, but you’ll only enjoy coverage at your chosen DeltaCare® USA dentist⁴.
We offer state-wide and NYC dental insurance that covers many procedures, including braces, dentures and cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening⁴.
However, not all dental plans cover all procedures. You may want to shop around for a plan that best suits your current and anticipated needs. Some plans offered by employers may have different benefits than plans available directly from Delta Dental.
Anyone can enroll in a Delta Dental individual plan year-round. Plan eligibility requirements vary by state. For eligibility requirements related to your state and plan, refer to the plan Policy and Benefit Details document.
Have Delta Dental insurance in NY? Check out our Find a dentist tool to search for dentists in your area. Select the network for your preferred plan: either Delta Dental PPO or DeltaCare USA. You’ll likely save the most if you choose the Delta Dental PPO network for the Delta Dental PPO plans and the DeltaCare USA network for the DeltaCare USA (DHMO-type) plan.
You can also search by dentist or practice name, specialty, languages spoken, gender, office hours and which dentists are accepting new patients.
