Delta Dental PPO Insurance Coverage: What’s Included?

Understanding the coverage provided by your Delta Dental PPO plan is essential for getting the most out of your insurance. PPO plans are designed to cover a portion of your dental treatment costs, but the percentage of coverage varies based on the type of service you receive. Below is an overview of the services covered under Delta Dental PPO plans in Colorado:

1. Preventive Care: Essential for Maintaining Oral Health

Preventive care is the foundation of good oral health and is designed to help you avoid more complex dental issues. Regular checkups and cleanings are essential in maintaining a healthy smile.

Services Included:
- Routine dental cleanings
- X-rays
- Dental exams
- Fluoride treatments
- Dental sealants for kids
Coverage: Preventive care services are typically 100% covered by Delta Dental PPO plans. This means that most patients will not have any out-of-pocket costs for these essential services.

Why Preventive Care Matters: Regular cleanings and exams help catch small problems before they become bigger issues. By preventing cavities, gum disease, and other conditions, preventive care can save you money in the long run and keep your smile healthy.

2. Basic Care: Treatment for Common Dental Problems

Basic care includes services for common dental issues that are necessary to maintain your oral health but are less complex than major procedures. These treatments are often needed for things like cavities or gum disease.

Services Included:
- Fillings
- Extractions
- Scaling and root planing (deep cleanings for gum disease)
- Other treatments to address mild dental issues
Coverage: These services are generally covered at 70%-80% by Delta Dental PPO plans. You will be responsible for paying the remaining balance.

Why Basic Care is Important: Addressing basic dental issues early on can prevent them from progressing into more serious problems. For example, treating a cavity before it turns into an infection or a root canal can save you time and money.

3. Major Care: Restoring the Function and Appearance of Your Smile

Major care involves more complex procedures needed when teeth are significantly damaged or lost. These services are often essential for restoring function and aesthetics.

Services Included:
- Crowns
- Bridges
- Dentures
- Root canals
- Other extensive restorative treatments
Coverage: Major care is typically covered at 50% under Delta Dental PPO plans. This means you will need to pay the remaining 50%.

When Major Care is Needed: Major treatments like crowns or dentures may be necessary when teeth are damaged or lost. These procedures help restore the ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently.

4. Orthodontics: Straighten Your Smile

Orthodontics are an important option for both children and adults who want to straighten their teeth. Braces, clear aligners, and other orthodontic treatments are sometimes covered by Delta Dental PPO plans, though coverage may vary.

Services Included:
- Braces
- Clear aligners (such as Invisalign)
Coverage: Many PPO plans offer partial coverage for orthodontics, often with a lifetime maximum benefit, which may vary depending on your plan.

Why Orthodontics is Beneficial: Orthodontic treatment not only improves the appearance of your smile but also contributes to better oral health. Straighter teeth are easier to clean and less prone to plaque buildup, which can help reduce the risk of cavities and gum disease.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean to be an "in-network" provider?

Being an in-network provider means that Clove Dental has a contract with Delta Dental to provide services at discounted rates. This helps you save money on your treatments. When you visit an out-of-network provider, you may have to pay more out-of-pocket for the same services.

Are cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening covered?

Cosmetic procedures, such as teeth whitening, are typically not covered by Delta Dental PPO plans. However, we offer affordable alternatives to help you achieve a brighter smile without breaking the bank.

Is emergency dental care covered?

Emergency care is typically covered under basic care benefits. However, it's always a good idea to verify your benefits before seeking emergency treatment. If you require urgent care, please contact us, and we’ll confirm what’s covered under your plan.

What happens if I reach my plan's annual maximum?

Delta Dental PPO plans have an annual maximum, which is the maximum amount they will pay for covered services in a year. Once you’ve reached this limit, you’ll be responsible for covering the full cost of any additional services. If this happens, we can help you plan for treatments in the following year to maximize your benefits.

Can I use my Delta Dental PPO plan for orthodontics?

If your plan includes orthodontic coverage, you may receive partial coverage for braces and other orthodontic treatments. However, coverage typically comes with a lifetime maximum, so it’s important to check your benefits to see what your plan covers.
