Your dentist's network will impact how much you pay. Dentists that participate in 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 dentist, 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.
