Delta Dental Premier® - Delta Dental Of Minnesota

Welcome to Delta Dental Premier
Dentist Directory
This directory is intended as a guide for selecting a Delta Dental Premier dentist. Selecting a
dentist listed in the Delta Dental Premier directory will ensure that you receive your maximum
benefits. The dentists listed in this directory are current as of the printing date shown on
the bottom of each page of the directory. This means that any changes to the dentist network
after this date will not be reflected in this directory.
Role of Your Dentist
Your dentist's job is to coordinate the dental services you receive, from preventive dental care
such as exams and cleanings to dental treatments such as repairing a broken tooth, removing
decay from a tooth, and/or restoring the tooth with a filling. An ongoing relationship with your
dentist increases your chances of receiving the best care possible.
Choosing a Dentist
Delta Dental of Minnesota wants you to play an active role in decisions about your dental care .
While you do not need to pre-select a dentist, selecting a dentist from the Delta Dental Premier
directory will ensure that you receive the maximum benefits.
In-Network: When you choose a dentist from this directory, your dental care is called
“in-network” and you will receive important benefit advantages, including lower costs by receiving
the maximum level of benefits available to you.
Out-of-Network: If you receive dental care from a dentist not listed in this directory, your care is
considered “out-of-network.” Benefit payment from an out-of-network dentist will be covered at a
lower reimbursement and you will have greater out-of-pocket expenses. This is true even if the
out-of-network dentist works in the same clinic or office as an in-network dentist. If dental
services are received from an out-of-network dentist, reimbursement for services will be paid
directly to the subscriber, and the subscriber would be responsible to pay the difference up to the
submitted charge of the dentist.
Remember to verify your dentist’s participation status at the time you make an appointment .
Checking with your dentist or calling Customer Service to verify participation assures you that
your dentist is still participating in the network. If your dentist's status has changed and he or she
is no longer part of the network, you can continue seeing your dentist, however, this may result in
a higher out-of-pocket cost for you. Or you may choose another Delta Dental Premier dentist
and receive maximum benefits. Consult your Human Resources department or benefit booklet
for more information regarding your specific plan design.
