Delta Dental of Virginia believes in not only providing comprehensive benefits coverage, but also ensuring our members make the most out of their dental benefits. In this email, we'll share tips on how to maximize the value of your dental benefits, helping you keep a healthy smile by finding you ways to save the most money!


Getting to know your dental plan

First things first – know the ins and outs of your dental plan. Take a peek at this blog article to understand the preventive, basic, and major services that your dental insurance covers. The more you understand, the better you can navigate your coverage.


Prioritizing preventive care

Prevention is sometimes the best cure, but prevention may also be cost-effective. Regular check-ups and cleanings are often fully covered by dental plans. By prioritizing preventive care, you not only maintain a healthy smile, but you may minimize the risk of expensive treatments down the road.

Choosing in-network dentists

One of the easiest ways to maximize your dental benefits is by choosing in-network dentists. These dentists have agreements with Delta Dental, which means lower out-of-pocket costs for you. Your network depends on your plan. Your plan name appears in the upper right of your ID card as shown. Click here for steps on how to find an in-network dentist using our website.

Budgeting for major procedures

If you're anticipating major dental work (i.e., dental services that cost $250 or more), request a Predetermination of Benefits from your dentist. A Predetermination of Benefits is a detailed description of dental services that your dentist sends to Delta Dental. It's an excellent way to find out what is covered, what your dental insurance will pay, and what your share of the cost will be before any dental work is completed.

We hope you find these tips valuable in unlocking the full potential of your dental benefits. Cheers to healthy smiles and smart savings this year!
