Coverage Overview
How Your Delta Dental Plan Works Here
Delta Dental PPO plans typically cover preventive care (cleanings, exams, X-rays) at 80–100%, basic restorative work (fillings, extractions) at 50–80%, and major procedures (crowns, bridges, implants) at 30–50%. Your specific coverage depends on your employer’s plan tier and your annual maximum. We verify your exact benefits before any treatment begins.
Many Delta Dental PPO Premier and PPO Plus plans include implant coverage under major restorative benefits. Coverage typically ranges from 30–50% of the allowed amount, subject to your annual maximum. Some plans have a separate implant rider. We confirm your specific implant benefits during your free consultation.

Common Questions
Delta Dental FAQ
Does Centre Dental accept Delta Dental insurance?
Centre Dental is a non-participating PPO provider with Delta Dental. We are not in-network, but we bill Delta Dental directly on your behalf. Your PPO plan still provides coverage for out-of-network providers, and many patients find the difference in out-of-pocket cost is minimal compared to the quality of personalized care they receive.
What does "non-participating provider" mean for my Delta Dental benefits?
As a non-participating provider, we have not signed a fee schedule agreement with Delta Dental. Your PPO plan still covers out-of-network care, but the reimbursement may be based on Delta Dental’s allowed amount rather than our full fee. We verify these details before treatment so you always know your estimated cost upfront.
Will I pay more out-of-pocket at an out-of-network dentist with Delta Dental?
It depends on your specific Delta Dental plan. Many PPO plans cover out-of-network care at a slightly lower percentage. However, the difference is often modest, and some patients find that the advanced technology, same-day procedures, and personalized attention at Centre Dental more than offset the difference. We provide a clear cost estimate before any work begins.
Does Delta Dental cover dental implants?
Many Delta Dental PPO plans include partial coverage for dental implants under major restorative benefits. Coverage typically ranges from 30–50% of the allowed amount, subject to your plan’s annual maximum and any waiting periods. Some plans include a separate implant benefit rider. We verify your exact implant coverage during your free consultation.
Does Delta Dental cover CEREC same-day crowns?
Yes. Delta Dental covers CEREC crowns the same as traditional crowns — the procedure code is identical. The advantage of same-day crowns is convenience: one visit, one claim, and no temporary crown. Your coverage percentage depends on whether crowns fall under basic or major services in your plan.
How do I verify my Delta Dental benefits before my visit?
Call us at (212) 925-7066 with your Delta Dental member ID and group number. Our team contacts Delta Dental, verifies your specific benefits, remaining annual maximum, and any plan limitations. We share this information with you before your appointment so there are no surprises.
Does Delta Dental cover Invisalign at Centre Dental?
Some Delta Dental plans include orthodontic benefits that apply to Invisalign treatment. Coverage varies significantly by plan — some cover up to 50% with a separate orthodontic lifetime maximum, while others do not include orthodontic benefits. We verify your specific Invisalign coverage before recommending a treatment plan.
Can I use my Delta Dental annual maximum for multiple procedures?
Yes. Your annual maximum applies to all covered dental care within the benefit year. We can help you plan treatment strategically across benefit years to maximize your coverage. For example, completing one phase of treatment before your benefit year resets and continuing afterward.
