It’s important that you feel comfortable with those providing your dental care, which is why we recommend making your first visit an evaluation appointment.

During this appointment, the dentist will only examine your teeth and go over a recommended treatment plan with you. This way, you can meet the dentist and the office staff before deciding if you’d like to make a follow-up appointment for a cleaning or any recommended procedures.

• Based on the results of your exam, your dentist will talk to you about the treatment plan that he or she feels is best for you. The treatment plan is a list of all dental care (procedures) your dentist feels you need. You’ll review costs and decide what to do next:

• If any emergency care is needed, that will be listed first.
• Your dentist may recommend a procedure(s) that isn’t covered as part of your Delta Dental benefits. If you’re concerned about the cost, ask your dentist to list the procedures in order of importance. That way, you can better understand and plan for your expenses.
• Your dentist cannot provide procedures that aren’t included in your Delta Dental benefit plan without written consent (your signature).
• You have the right to refuse any procedure for any reason whether it’s included in your Delta Dental benefits or not.

Ask your dentist if there’s a less expensive procedure option available.

You have the right to refuse any procedure for any reason whether it’s included in your Delta Dental benefits or not.

If you’re not sure about a procedure your dentist says you need, call Delta Dental and ask if they’ll authorize a second opinion.

Although your teeth might look and feel fine, there could be hidden problems that need attention.

This is why many people who haven’t been to the dentist in a while are surprised when a checkup shows they need additional dental work beyond a cleaning, which can be expensive.

Outside of daily care, the best way to avoid bigger, more expensive and painful dental problems is to see your dentist regularly.
