Exams, cleanings, x‑rays. No waiting period.
Fillings & extractions (after the wait).
Crowns, bridges, dentures, implants, root canals.
Adults & children — the differentiator.
Most plans cap ortho to dependent children. Premium covers adults too at 50%, plus implants and teeth whitening — so the Invisalign, implant or brighter smile you've delayed finally has a number. The wait is only 6 months, and it's waived entirely if you had prior coverage.
Premium covers more procedures than any other individual Delta plan, but it asks you to wait for the bigger work. Preventive starts on day one. Everything else is on a clock, and here are the exact timelines.
Delta Dental waiting periods vary by state; California / typical individual terms shown. Prior continuous dental coverage can sometimes waive or shorten them — CoverCapy verifies your exact start dates with the carrier before you enroll.

Delta Dental PPO™ plans are underwritten by Delta Dental Insurance Company and affiliated companies and offered to individuals in AL, CA, DE, FL, GA, LA, MD, MS, MT, NV, NY, PA, TX, UT, WV and DC. Prices are illustrations and vary by age and ZIP. Delta Dental is a registered trademark of Delta Dental Plans Association. CoverCapy is an independent concierge marketplace and is not Delta Dental; we're paid by the dental offices in our network, not by which plan you choose.
If you're 65+ on a SCAN Health Plan Medicare Advantage plan in California or Washington, your dental runs through Delta Dental — a DeltaCare USA network benefit, with an optional PPO buy‑up for more dentist choice. Before buying an individual PPO, see what your SCAN benefit already covers and how to use it.
