See Your Delta Dental Dentist in Phoenix
The doctors and their staff at Smile Fitness Dental Centers don’t only want to take care of your smile, they also want to give you a very good reason to smile. One of the ways we do that is by accepting coverage from several dental insurance providers including Delta Dental. As your Delta Dental dentist in Phoenix, we do everything we can to make sure you get the most out of your dental benefits.
Delta Dental Insurance in Phoenix
Delta Dental offers three different benefits plans, including:
- Delta Dental PPO
- Delta Dental Premier
- DeltaCare USA
Delta Dental PPO and Delta Dental Premier both permit you and your family to see the licensed dentist you choose. But, you are more likely to save dollars and cents if you see an in-network provider. (DeltaCare USA is a DHMO-type of plan that has a closed network, which requires you to select an in-network dentist.)
As in-network Delta Dental dentists, the team at Smile Fitness Dental Centers has an arrangement to charge a specified amount for covered services. Once you pay your portion, we are contractually bound and cannot bill you for anything more.
Delta Dental Insurance Basics
The Delta Dental benefits plans are all slightly different from one another, but they do have a lot in common. For example, each one has:
- A deductible. This is the amount of money you must pay out of pocket annually before Delta Dental begins to cover your dental care.
- A maximum. Dental insurance typically has a yearly maximum dollar amount. If your care exceeds this amount, then the cost comes out of your wallet. Fortunately, we are usually able to work with our patients in order to schedule ongoing treatment from one year to the next so you avoid over-spending.
- Even after you’ve met your deductible, this is the portion of your dental care that is your responsibility at the time of service.
Covered Services from Your Delta Dental Dentist in Phoenix
Benefits plans from Delta Dental cover preventive care, which includes:
- Two dental cleanings per year
- Two dental examinations per year
- Annual x-rays
Preventive dental care goes a long, long way toward helping you and your family avoid dental health issues such as tooth decay, gum disease or damage from cracked teeth or loose fillings and crowns. In fact, that’s one of the reason why dental benefits expire at the end of a calendar year—to encourage subscribers to use the benefits they pay for and have regular dental checkups!
Don’t let your dental benefits expire unused. Call Smile Fitness Dental Center today to schedule an appointment.
