Our Networks

The Delta Dental Network Advantage

Delta Dental of Virginia members have access to the largest network of dentists in Virginia and nationwide*. We offer two networks: Delta Dental PPO™ and Delta Dental Premier®. Plus, we offer plans that give members access to both of our networks.

The Dual Network Safety Net

Delta Dental gives your employees an added benefit that other carriers can't offer — our dual network safety net. Certain PPO plans allow employees to visit a Delta Dental Premier dentist at a slightly higher out-of-pocket cost. Plans that offer both networks include: Delta Dental PPO plus Premier™, Delta Dental PPO aXcess and Delta Dental PPO Choice. 

Your employees' network options will depend on their plan, which appears in the upper right-hand corner of their ID card (as pictured below).

Delta Dental PPO

Delta Dental PPO is our preferred provider organization. Delta Dental PPO provides members with the lowest out-of-pocket costs, because dentists who participate in the PPO network have agreed to accept lower reimbursements for services. The following plans utilize the Delta Dental PPO network.
