Good for Your Patients

With access to the largest dental network in the nation and plan designs that emphasize the importance of diagnostic and preventive care, Delta Dental strives to educate your patients on the link between oral health and overall health.

Reduced Out-of-Pocket Costs

Many of our subscribers can take advantage of our dual network advantage, offering the unique cost savings opportunity to select from two networks – Delta Dental PPO or Delta Dental Premier. Subscribers can lower their out-of-pocket costs through their choice of a participating network dentist. In most cases, they can still receive benefits by choosing a non-participating dentist, but their out-of-pocket costs will be higher.

Benefit-Rich Plan Designs

Delta Dental offers a number of networks and plans, including both employer and individual benefit plans. Subscribers can take advantage of valuable benefits and coverage levels from the largest network of dentists in the nation.

Focus on Preventive Care

Research indicates that over 100 diseases can show early signs or symptoms in the mouth, and that good oral health and regular dental checkups can improve whole body health. Delta Dental of Virginia recognizes the link between oral health and overall health, and provides a variety of benefit options that reward your patients for engaging in preventive oral health care. Through benefit options such as Healthy Smile, Healthy You®, Prevention First and MaxOver™, subscribers are rewarded for visiting the dentist to receive preventive and diagnostic care. Increased incentive to receive preventive care means more patient visits for you when you participate with Delta Dental.
