Basic Coverage
Get covered for basic procedures such as cleanings, fluoride treatment, fillings, and orthodontia.
Uniform Dental Benefits (UDB)
The Uniform Dental Benefit Plan (UDB) helps cover the cost of preventive care like exams and cleanings, as well as minor restorations like fillings. It also covers child orthodontia up to $1,500.
Delta Dental PPO Plus Premier™ – Preventive Plan
The Delta Dental PPO Plus Premier – Preventive Plan mimics UDB coverage. If you do not have State of Wisconsin group health coverage and therefore are not enrolled in the UDB plan, you have the option to enroll in this supplemental preventive plan.
SEE BASIC COVERAGE PLAN DETAILS
Major Coverage
Get additional coverage for items such as crowns, bridges, dentures, implants, adult orthodontia, and root canals.
There are two major supplemental dental plans, Delta Dental PPO™ – Select Plan and Delta Dental PPO Plus Premier™ – Select Plus Plan. Both plans help cover costs of more expensive procedures like crowns and root canals that are not covered by preventive benefits plans. Choose one based on the type of coverage you think you may need.
