Understanding Delta Dental at Total Health Dental Care

Navigating 'Out-of-Network Friendly' Policies

Why are we Out-of-Network with Delta Dental?

At Total Health Dental Care, we've always been committed to providing the absolute best dental care, powered by state-of-the-art technology and personalized attention. Unfortunately, Delta Dental's recent policy changes have reduced reimbursement rates by 40%. This has led most dental offices to compromise on the quality of their services, but we refuse to follow suit. Our commitment is to you, and we choose quality over cost.

What's Different for You?

In reality, very little changes in your dental experience. The main difference is in the payment processing. In the past, Delta sent their contribution for your dental services directly to us. Now, as an out-of-network provider, Delta sends this contribution directly to you.

Our Convenient Solution

To simplify this process for you, we've developed a streamlined system. When Delta sends you their contribution, we charge your credit card for the exact same amount. This means you won't be left with the added task of forwarding payments to us. Instead, you deposit Delta's check, and we handle the rest.

What Does This Mean for Your Dental Health?

Our innovative approach ensures you continue to receive the best dental care, without any compromise on quality. The changes lie in payment processing only, keeping you away from the complications of insurance reimbursements.

At Total Health Dental Care, we believe our "out-of-network friendly" approach with Delta Dental is a commitment to your health and wellbeing. We thank you for your trust in us, and we promise to continue offering top-quality, uncompromised dental care. If you have any questions or concerns about this process, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're here to help!


  • We have chosen to go out-of-network with Delta Dental because of their policy changes, which have significantly reduced reimbursements. Our commitment is to quality dental care, and we choose not to compromise on that so Delta can cut corners with your care.

  • 'Out-of-network friendly' means that even though we are not directly in Delta's network, we have developed a simple and effective system for processing payments that creates minimal changes for you as a patient.

  • The main difference is in the payment processing. Instead of Delta sending their contribution to us, they will send it to you. We will then charge your credit card for the same amount, so you won't need to forward the payments to us.

  • When Delta sends their contribution for your dental services, we charge your credit card for the same amount. You just deposit Delta's check, and we take care of the rest.

  • For covered services like cleanings, exams, or x-rays, Delta Dental sends you a check and we charge your card for the same amount.

    For other treatments, you pay your portion upfront, and later, when Delta sends their portion to you, we charge your card for that amount.

    You simply deposit Delta's check when you receive it. You'll see two charges on your card for treatments: your portion upfront and the insurance portion later.

  • The change in our relationship with Delta Dental does not mean you'll pay more out of pocket. It only changes who Delta sends their contribution to and how we process that payment.

  • Our decision to go 'out-of-network friendly' with Delta Dental allows us to uphold our commitment to delivering top-quality dental care. The changes are in the payment processing only, and have no impact on the superior care and attention you'll receive at Total Health Dental Care.
