Welcome to East Wind Dental Care, Your Trusted Delta Dental Dentist in Hillsboro, OR
At East Wind Dental Care, we are proud to be an in-network provider for Delta Dental, one of the most widely recognized dental insurance plans in Oregon. We understand the importance of maximizing your benefits, and our team is here to help you navigate your coverage with ease.
What’s Covered by Delta Dental?
Delta Dental typically covers three categories of dental services:
- Preventive Care (100% Coverage): Routine exams, cleanings (twice per year), X-rays, fluoride treatments for children, and sealants
- Basic Procedures (70-80% Coverage): Fillings, extractions, periodontal maintenance, root canal therapy, and emergency dental care
- Major Procedures (50% Coverage): Crowns, bridges, dentures, dental implants, and extensive restorative work
Note: Coverage percentages may vary based on your specific Delta Dental plan. We recommend calling our office to verify your benefits before treatment.
How to Maximize Your Delta Dental Benefits
- Use Your Preventive Benefits: Schedule your two free cleanings and exams each year. These appointments help catch problems early before they become expensive.
- Plan Treatment Before Year-End: Most dental benefits don’t roll over. If you have unused benefits, consider scheduling necessary treatment before December 31st.
- Understand Your Annual Maximum: Most Delta Dental plans have an annual maximum (typically $1,000-$2,000). Plan major treatments accordingly.
- Pre-Authorization for Major Work: For crowns, bridges, or implants, we can submit a pre-authorization to Delta Dental so you know your exact out-of-pocket costs before treatment begins.
- Combine with FSA/HSA: Use your flexible spending account or health savings account for even greater savings on out-of-pocket expenses.
