Navigating dental insurance can sometimes feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. At Clove Dental, we prioritize clear, transparent information about your Delta Dental Ohio PPO plan to help you make the most of your benefits. Whether you're a new patient or returning for another visit, understanding what your insurance covers and how we can help is key to your experience. Here’s a breakdown of Delta Dental Ohio coverage, how to verify your benefits, and answers to some frequently asked questions.

Coverage Details with Delta Dental Ohio

Delta Dental Ohio PPO plans offer comprehensive coverage for a wide range of dental services, allowing you to take care of your oral health with peace of mind. Here's an overview of the types of coverage you can typically expect with your PPO plan:

1. Preventive Care (100% Coverage)

Delta Dental Ohio places a strong emphasis on preventive care, which is essential for maintaining long-term dental health. With most PPO plans, the following preventive services are typically covered at 100%:

Routine cleanings (typically twice a year)
Comprehensive exams and X-rays
Fluoride treatments for children and adults
Dental sealants, especially for children, to prevent cavities

With preventive care fully covered, you can maintain your oral health without worrying about additional out-of-pocket costs.

2. Basic Care (70%-80% Coverage)

Basic dental care includes treatments that address common dental concerns before they become more severe. With Delta Dental Ohio PPO plans, the following services are generally covered at 70% to 80%:

Fillings for cavities
Tooth extractions
Scaling and root planing for gum disease

As with most PPO plans, you will typically cover a portion of these costs, but your coverage will still be generous, helping to keep out-of-pocket expenses manageable.

3. Major Care (50% Coverage)

Major dental treatments are covered under Delta Dental Ohio PPO plans, but the coverage typically is at 50%, leaving you to pay for the remainder. These services are often necessary for more extensive dental work:

Crowns and bridges
Dentures
Root canals
Some periodontal surgeries

Given the higher costs of major treatments, it's essential to be aware of your plan's coverage for these services, and we are happy to assist with any questions or estimates before starting treatment.

4. Orthodontics (Partial Coverage)

Orthodontic treatment, including braces and clear aligners like Invisalign, is often covered under Delta Dental Ohio PPO plans, though this coverage is typically partial. Many plans include a lifetime maximum for orthodontic benefits, meaning there’s a cap on the amount your insurance will pay for orthodontic care. For adults and children alike, it's important to check your specific plan details before beginning treatment.

PPO Insurance Partners and Network Details

Delta Dental Ohio PPO plans allow you to see any dentist you choose. However, by selecting an in-network provider like Clove Dental, you can enjoy the following benefits:

Lower Out-of-Pocket Costs: In-network providers have agreed upon reduced rates with Delta Dental, so your co-pays and deductibles will typically be lower.

In-network dentists have negotiated rates with Delta Dental, which helps lower your costs.

To verify your benefits, simply reach out to our office, or use our online benefit verification form. We will confirm the specifics of your plan, including any co-pays or deductibles, and give you an estimate for the treatment.

Does Delta Dental Ohio cover emergency dental care?

Yes! Emergency dental care is typically covered under the basic care portion of your PPO plan, which means you will generally pay 20%-30% of the cost, depending on your specific coverage. If you require emergency treatment, we’ll assist you in getting the care you need and handling the insurance process.

Is orthodontic treatment covered by Delta Dental Ohio?

Does Delta Dental Ohio cover dental implants?

Dental implants may be covered under the major care portion of your PPO plan. However, coverage can vary, so it's essential to confirm with us before proceeding with this treatment. If dental implants are deemed medically necessary, there’s a better chance that they’ll be covered.
