Purchasing dental insurance can be a daunting decision. It may not be easy to determine which plan and coverage options best meet your needs. At first glance, two plans may seem exactly alike. In actuality, they could be very different, especially if the two plans are offered by competing carriers.
Here are four areas you’ll want to review when evaluating dental plan options:
Network of Dentists in Idaho
Dentists who participate in networks agree to accept fees substantially lower than retail. Also, the larger the network, the more likely your dentist participates. With 145,000 dentists in its combined PPO and Premier networks, Delta Dental has the nation’s largest network. To find a dentist in our network close to you, CLICK HERE.

Look for a plan that encourages preventive care. Individuals who manage their oral health by seeking preventive care tend to have lower long-term dental costs, as they typically catch issues before they become too serious or expensive.
Delta Dental of Idaho Service

Dental Expertise
Medical and dental coverage operate under very different models. While medical coverage focuses more on treatment, dental coverage concentrates on prevention.

Look for coverage from a dental expert – one with a commitment to your oral health.
