Why do 56 million enrollees trust their smiles to Delta Dental?1

We Keep You Smiling®

Most of our enrollees stay with us year after year2, and it’s no wonder. Delta Dental sets the industry standard by doing whatever it takes and then some. We deliver:

  • Less out-of-pocket.
  • More dentists.
  • Simpler process.

Less out-of-pocket

The Delta Dental Difference® saves clients and enrollees billions of dollars a year.3 Because Delta Dental dentists agree to our determination of fees, clients enjoy extensive cost controls, and enrollees pay less out-of-pocket.

More Dentists

Four out of five dentists nationwide are contracted Delta Dental dentists, giving enrollees convenient access and quality assurance through the nation’s largest dentist network.

Simpler Process

Our dental plans are easy to use. No ID card is required to receive services and there are no claim forms to file -- Delta Dental dentists do that for you. And because we pay Delta Dental dentists directly, you are responsible only for your share of payment.
