The Delta Dental network advantage

More than access: real value for your members and your bottom line

Many carriers may promote lower administrative fees, which are certainly appealing, but did you know that claims drive most dental expenses for a company? Delta Dental of Massachusetts delivers savings where it matters most: at the point of care.

• 94% of Delta Dental members see an in-network provider, allowing members to save on their treatment costs and stretch their plan benefits furtherⁱⁱⁱ
• Groups nationwide saved $27.7 billion thanks to our unique cost control measures and contractual agreements with dentists to ensure quality care at moderate feesⁱⁱ

Our focus on negotiated discounts and in-network utilization helps reduce the total cost of care for both employers and employees. As a result, members enjoy more affordable care, while employers benefit from lower claims costs and a stronger return on their benefits investment.

A network you can trust—no leasing, no confusion

Some carriers are expanding their dental networks through third-party leasing arrangements. While this may increase the number of provider names on paper, leased networks can lead to confusion, less control, and inconsistent member experiences.

Delta Dental is different. Our providers are 100% directly contracted, meaning we work directly with dentists to ensure a consistent experience, high-quality care, and reliable savings you and your employees can count on.

• 151,000+ unique dentists and 416,000+ access points nationwideⁱ
• 3 out of 4 dentists nationwide are in our networkⁱⁱ
• 90 million members across the country are covered by Delta Dentalⁱⁱ

With Delta Dental, the result is simple: a reliable dental experience that gives members confidence and delivers lasting value for groups.
