The Different Types of Coverage Your Delta Dental Plan Covers
For the purposes of dental insurance, most companies divide treatments into three categories: Preventive, Basic, and Major treatments. You will most likely come across each of these within your coverage documents. Each is described in detail below.
Note that coverage levels provided by insurance companies (including Delta Dental) tends to get lower on a percentage basis the more complex the treatment is. So your Delta Dental coverage may cover 100% of the cost for a preventive treatment (like a teeth cleaning), but your dental benefits may only a fraction of the cost for a more significant procedures like dental crowns.
Preventive Care
Preventive care typically applies to dental care services that help you to maintain your oral health. Many general dentist related services fall under the category of preventive services. We can help you figure out what specific types of health care treatment your dental plan covers, but typically a preventive plan covers services like your periodic dental exam – (including an oral cancer screening), dental cleaning, and regularly scheduled x-rays. Many Delta Dental plans that you get through your employer cover up to 100% – but call our office for full details.
Basic Treatments
Basic Treatments with Delta Dental can include services performed by a general dentist that restore your dental health. This can include items like dental fillings as well as dental surgery procedures like root canals and teeth extractions. In most cases, Delta Dental doesn’t cover the entire cost of procedures that require an oral surgeon – it is usually 80% or less. Again health care coverage changes frequently, call our office for details on how your dental coverage applies to these types of procedures.
Major Treatments
Major Restorative Care provided by oral health care professionals is another category of dental insurance coverage that applies to more significant oral surgery procedures. This could possibly include dental implants, bridges, and crowns. The benefit is much less likely to cover a major treatment versus a more basic or preventive procedure.
In most cases many dental insurers, including Delta Dental, tend to cover much less of the cost for these types of procedures. Dental benefits for major treatments may only cover 50% or less of a major procedure cost. But contact our office and we will tell you exactly how much your insurance covers.

Having a great dental insurance plan like Delta Dental is important in maintaining your oral health. Finding the right general dentist that offers services covered by your benefit plan can be confusing. Taking the time to wade through your coverage documents, or trying to navigate the Delta Dental Member Portal to figure out if your particular treatment options are covered using an online cost estimator can be confusing. Additionally, determining what dentists are in-network can be confusing.
We are experts at working with insurance companies and determining what treatment categories are completely covered by your benefit plan, and what may be only partially recovered and require an out of pocket cost.
In other words, we’re already familiar with your coverage documents and can tell you general information about what your dental plan covers and what it doesn’t. We can shed light on the exact dental benefit that you may be eligible to receive from Delta Dental.
For example, many services at our dentistry (especially preventive procedures like dental cleanings) may be fully or partially covered by Delta Dental. Restorative procedures in many cases are not completely covered by dental insurance.
We’ll be able to tell you what services are covered by Delta Dental, and what kind of fees to expect for dental procedures. Our staff will work hard on your behalf to submit your insurance claims to reduce your overall expenses to the greatest amount possible.
