Your guide to the Health Care Exchange (Marketplace)

We believe in the power of increased access to affordable dental benefits. Our ACA-compliant¹ Health Care Exchange (Marketplace) dental plans provide the benefits you need. Note that most exchanges require you to enroll in a medical plan before you can get a dental plan.

How the Exchange works

The Health Care Exchange (Marketplace) isn't just for medical plans. You can also shop for and buy a Delta Dental plan! Visit our resource center to learn more or shop Delta Dental plans directly if you already have a medical plan.

How to buy a dental plan

Simply visit HealthCare.gov or your state's exchange website (e.g., Covered California, Maryland Health Connection , Pennie) to view the dental plan options available to you and choose a plan. You'll need to wait until open enrollment to buy, unless you've experienced a qualifying life event, such as a change in employment or the birth of a child.
