- Click the Find a Dentist tool on the right. Enter a location.
- Select the “Delta Dental PPO” or “Delta Dental Premier” network from the drop-down menu:
- Delta Dental PPO: These dentists have agreed to reduced fees, so you won’t get charged more than your expected share of the bill.
- Delta Dental Premier: If you can’t find a PPO dentist, Delta Dental Premier dentists offer the next best opportunity to save, as these dentists have agreed to set fees.
