How the Dental Plans Work

Salem Health gives you the choice of dental plans through Delta Dental: Dental Basic plan or Dental + Orthodontia plan. All family members must be enrolled under the same plan. You cannot split coverage plans between family members.

With both plans, you have the freedom to choose any dentist or dental care provider. When using a Delta Dental PPO dentist or a Delta Dental Premier dentist, the dentist may not charge you the difference between the plan allowance and the billed amount for covered services.  You will pay the least out of your pocket when you visit a Delta Dental PPO dentist. 

Both plans fully cover preventive services, such as regular exams and cleanings. They also provide coverage for basic and major services, but only the Dental + Orthodontia plan offers orthodontia benefits.
