How it works

Understanding your benefits

In-network: Delta Dental Premier

Premier is Delta Dental's network of dentists who have agreed to the plan's arrangements. Being in-network means we submit your claims directly, the plan's terms apply automatically, and we review what your plan is expected to cover before treatment begins.

Out-of-network: most PPO plans

PPO plans are designed to travel with you — benefits typically still apply when you see an out-of-network dentist, paid according to your plan's out-of-network schedule. We're happy to submit claims and help you understand your plan's specifics.

Every plan is different, and coverage always depends on your specific policy — so we verify your benefits before treatment, not after. Walking through it together first is part of being a dental home.

Good to know

Coverage questions, answered

Does dental insurance cover crowns?

Most dental plans group care into categories — preventive (like cleanings and exams), basic (like fillings), and major (like crowns). Crowns usually fall in the major category, which plans typically cover at a lower percentage than preventive care, and often after a deductible. Every plan is different, so before any treatment we verify your specific benefits and walk you through what your plan says.

How does a crown claim work with Delta Dental?

Because we're in-network with Delta Dental Premier, we submit claims directly and the plan's negotiated arrangements apply. Coverage for crowns depends on your specific plan's category percentages, deductible, and annual maximum — we check all of this for you before treatment begins and walk you through it plainly.

What if my plan isn't Delta Dental?

We welcome most PPO plans as an out-of-network provider. With PPO plans, your benefits typically still apply out-of-network — the plan pays according to its out-of-network schedule, and we help you understand what that means for your situation before treatment.

Will you check my benefits for me?

Yes. Call or text us with your plan information and we'll help verify your benefits before your visit — what categories your plan uses, your deductible status, and your remaining annual maximum.
