Your dentist's network will impact how much you pay. Dentists that help participate in the Delta Dental PPO will have the lowest costs and will save you the most out-of-pocket expense. Dentists that participate in Delta Dental Premier, are participating Delta Dental dentists, but you will pay a greater portion of the cost if utilized. If you receive services from a non-participating, out-of-network dentists, you will pay the most out-of-pocket and are responsible for your coinsurance amount plus the difference between Delta Dental's approved fee and the dentist submitted fee for the claim.
