Delta Dental of Michigan is a prominent dental benefits provider, operating as an affiliate of the Delta Dental Plans Association, which is one of the largest administrators of dental plans in the United States. Founded in 1966 as part of a nationwide system of independently operated dental health service plans, Delta Dental has over 60 years of experience in making dental care more affordable and accessible. Delta Dental of Michigan's mission is to advance and promote the improvement of oral health. They achieve this by offering innovative, cost-effective dental benefit products that cater to the needs of their customers, including employer groups and individuals. Their plans cover a comprehensive range of dental services, from preventive care like routine exams, cleanings, and X-rays to basic services such as fillings and extractions, and major restorative procedures including crowns, bridges, and implants, as well as orthodontic treatments. They are known for having one of the largest networks of participating dentists nationwide, which provides their members with broad access to quality oral care. Beyond providing insurance, Delta Dental of Michigan is deeply committed to community health and social responsibility. Through their corporate citizenship efforts and the Delta Dental Foundation, they support charitable organizations and programs that contribute to the arts, education, and the overall health and well-being of children and adults in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana. Their philanthropic affiliate, the Delta Dental Fund, has granted millions towards advancing dental science and improving public oral health, often focusing on at-risk populations and individuals with special needs. They also engage in various outreach programs, collaborating with community groups, schools, and health departments to promote oral health awareness and address barriers to care. While Delta Dental of Michigan is a large and widely recognized entity in dental insurance, some customer reviews indicate areas for improvement regarding claims handling, coverage for complex procedures, and customer service communication. Despite these criticisms, their expansive network, focus on preventive care, and efforts to make dental care affordable remain key advantages for their members.
