Delta Dental Insurance of Texas offers a range of plans to fit every budget. Their most basic plan, the Preventive Care Plan, starts at around $20 per month for individuals.

This plan covers routine cleanings, exams, and X-rays, making it a great option for those who prioritize preventive care. With this plan, you'll pay a lower premium but still get essential dental coverage.

Delta Dental's higher-tier plans, such as the Comprehensive Care Plan, offer more extensive coverage, including major restorative services like crowns and root canals. These plans are ideal for individuals who need more extensive dental work or want added peace of mind.

Coverage Options

Delta Dental insurance offers a range of coverage options to suit different needs and budgets.

You can choose from individual and family plans, as well as group coverage offered by employers. In Texas, Delta offers both PPO and DHMO plans, which provide greater flexibility and allow you to visit specialists without a referral.

Delta's Premium Plan covers preventive care, minor restorative care, and major services, including orthodontics for children and adults. However, you may need to wait 12 months before using your coverage for certain procedures, such as orthodontics or major services.

Delta Dental's annual maximum is around $1,500, which is the highest dollar amount they'll pay out for approved services within a calendar year. As an in-network dentist, we can help you maximize your benefits and make the most of your coverage.

Here are some key benefits of Delta Dental's Premium Plan:

  • Preventive care: 100% covered
  • Minor restorative care: 50% to 80% covered

You'll have access to a network of three out of four U.S. dentists, making it easy to find a trusted dentist for routine visits or specialized services. With Delta Dental, you can get low, negotiated rates with individual PPO plans to limit out-of-pocket costs.

Here are some key features of Delta Dental's Premium Plan:

  • Preventive care, such as cleanings and checkups, is covered.
  • Minor restorative care, such as fillings and simple extractions, is also covered.
  • Major services, like root canal therapy and periodontal therapy, are covered.
  • Orthodontics for both children and adults are covered.

Keep in mind that you may have to go through a waiting period before you can use your coverage for certain procedures, such as orthodontics or major services.

PPO vs DHMO-Type Plan

If you're considering a Delta Dental plan, you have two main options: PPO (DPO) and DHMO. PPO plans offer greater flexibility, allowing you to see any dentist you want, both in and out of network, without a referral.

With a PPO plan, you'll pay a portion of the cost for procedures, and your plan will share some of the expense. This can be beneficial if you see a dentist who's not in your network.

DHMO plans, on the other hand, have fixed prices for procedures, known as copays. These premiums tend to be lower, but you'll only enjoy coverage at your chosen DeltaCare USA dentist.

Here's a quick comparison of the two options:

Plan Benefits

With Delta Dental, you can expect a range of benefits that make dental care more accessible and affordable. You must use network providers and designate a primary care dentist (PCD) to get the most out of your plan.

You can see a PCD as often as necessary, and routine exams and cleanings are covered. Two routine exams and cleanings are included per calendar year, making it easier to stay on top of your oral health.

There are no yearly maximums or deductibles, which means you won't have to worry about unexpected costs. Instead, you'll receive up to 25% off the full cost for services received from participating specialty dentists when your PCD coordinates your care.
