Did you know your oral health serves as a window to your overall health and well-being? Conditions like cardiovascular disease are linked to poor oral health, while diabetes, HIV/AIDS, and other conditions can adversely affect it.

If you enroll in one of SPARC's dental plans through Delta Dental, you have coverage for preventive care, like annual cleanings and exams, and dental treatment.

Overview

We offer two dental plan options through Delta Dental:

Both plans cover two (2) cleanings per year and routine X-rays at 100%.

Delta Dental PPO

The Delta Dental PPO provides coverage for dentists that are both in-network and out-of-network, though you may end up paying more out of pocket if you visit a dentist outside of the network.

The following table shows the coverage levels:

Delta Dental PPO
Annual deductible $50 individual/$150 family
Individual annual maximum $1,500
Preventive and diagnostic 100% coverage (not subject to deductible)
Basic restorative care 80% after deductible
Major restorative care 50% after deductible
Orthodontia 50%
Orthodontia lifetime max $1,500

Delta Dental DHMO

The Delta Dental DHMO offers in-network services only, meaning you will not receive coverage unless the dentist participates in Delta Dental’s network. The Delta Dental DHMO covers preventive cleanings at no cost twice per year.

Other services are based on a Patient Charge Schedule. For more information, visit Delta Dental.

Things to consider before enrolling

If you want to enroll in the Delta Dental DHMO plan, please be sure to check the network providers to ensure that your dentist participates.
