Great oral health is an essential part of a taking care of your overall health. Through Delta Dental, we offer two dental plans that cover routine checkups and other dental care: Delta Dental Silver and Delta Dental Gold. The plans differ in how much you pay per pay period and how much you pay at the time of service.
Covered Services
Both dental plans provide benefits for:
- Preventive services, such as oral exams, cleanings and x-rays
- Basic services, such as fillings, extractions, root canal therapy and treatment of gum disease
- Major services, such as crowns, bridges and dentures
The Gold plan also includes orthodontia coverage and provides more coverage for basic and dental services.

Keep in mind that cosmetic procedures, such as teeth whitening, are not considered eligible expenses
