This is the general shape of UC SHIP dental on most campuses. Your exact percentages, deductible, and yearly max (usually around $1,000) depend on your campus and plan year, so confirm those with Delta Dental.
UC SHIP rarely covers braces or Invisalign for adults, so most students end up paying full price. An individual Delta Dental PPO plan includes adult orthodontic coverage, so you can spread the cost instead of paying all at once. Keep your student cleanings, add ortho alongside them, and carry the plan after you graduate. We'll walk you through it.
Delta Dental PPO works wherever there's an in-network dentist, not just near campus. Find one in your hometown before you head back.
