How SmileWay works with your FEDVIP dental benefits
SmileWay Wellness Benefits are an addition to your plan's regular dental coverage, not a replacement. That means you still receive all your regular plan benefits, including two routine cleanings per year, exams and X-rays. SmileWay adds more covered care specifically for members managing chronic medical conditions.
These enhanced services include extra cleanings and a periodontal deep cleaning per quadrant, covered at 100%. SmileWay gives you more tools to care for your oral and overall health without changing what your plan already provides.

Eligible FEDVIP members can enroll in SmileWay Wellness Benefits for the 2026 year starting on January 1, 2026. Please check back here on or after this date for more enrollment details.
FAQ: SmileWay Wellness Benefits for FEDVIP members
Log in to your Delta Dental FEDVIP member portal account and navigate to the SmileWay section. If you or your covered dependent has a qualifying condition and your plan is eligible, the system will prompt you to opt in.
No, enrollment must be completed through your member portal. Your dentist can confirm coverage and provide the treatment once you've successfully opted in.
If your condition is on the list of eligible diagnoses and you're enrolled in a Delta Dental FEDVIP plan, you can opt in at any time. Your coverage activates quickly — no need to wait or re-enroll each year unless your eligibility or plan changes.
Yes! You can visit any licensed dentist, but you'll get the most value from your FEDVIP dental plan by choosing a Federal Dental Programs network provider, which includes our Delta Dental PPO™ and Delta Dental Legion® networks. In-network dentists offer lower out-of-pocket costs and no balance billing. Use our Find a dentist tool to search for an in-network provider near you.
If you have diabetes and wish to continue receiving an extra cleaning, you will need to opt in to SmileWay through your member portal account on or after January 1, 2026 to access expanded benefits. You will not be automatically enrolled in SmileWay so you must take action to continue receiving additional benefits associated with your diagnosis. The diabetes indicator previously associated with your account will not carry over into 2026 and beyond.
