Delta Dental PPO^TM (Point-of-Service)

With your Delta Dental High plan, you have access to two of the nation's largest networks of participating dentists—our Delta Dental PPO^TM network AND our Delta Dental Premier^® network—to help you save money on the dental care you need to stay healthy.

Two great networks

With your Delta Dental plan, you can go to any licensed dentist, anywhere. However, you will save the most money by choosing one of the thousands of dentists nationwide who participate with Delta Dental.

The Delta Dental Premier® network is the largest in the United States, with four out of five dentists participating. This gives you the largest choice of participating dentists and provides significant savings.

The Delta Dental PPO network is smaller than the Delta Dental Premier network, but offers even greater savings.

Oral health is important for your overall health

Because many diseases can cause specific signs and symptoms in and around the mouth and jaw, dentists see clues that may point to critical health issues. As a result, increasing numbers of dentists are urging their patients to seek medical tests that seem unrelated to their dental checkups.

Did you know? More than 120 signs and symptoms of nondental disease can now be detected through a routine oral exam.¹ Regular dental checkups are more important than ever, not only for oral health, but for overall health, too. Your retirement system's dental plan provides coverage for exams and cleanings twice per calendar year.
