If you choose a plan from a preferred provider organization (PPO), the answer is typically yes. PPOs usually have large networks with more dentists for your employees to choose from. And they’ll save even more by using an in-network dentist.

Some patients have serious gum issues that require a periodontal cleaning, which is more involved than a regular preventive cleaning. To help ensure their gum disease doesn’t progress, these patients will want a plan that covers these special cleanings and maintenance. Plans typically allow up to four periodontal cleaning/maintenance visits per benefit period.
Did you know?
All Delta Dental of Washington plans offer four periodontal cleaning/maintenance visits as standard.
The annual maximum is the amount of coverage you’re eligible for in a given benefit period. Every time you receive covered dental services, the cost is deducted from your annual maximum. This amount is reset at the start of the next benefit period. When you evaluate plans, be sure to ask about the maximum amount allotted per year.

The Delta Dental of Washington Maximum Wellness Plan can offer greater annual maximums to patients who’ve had preventive care visits during the previous benefit year.
Many plans offer full coverage for preventive care, so those visits don’t count toward the annual maximum.
