In today’s always-connected world, we’re used to having data at our fingertips. That’s why Delta Dental of Arizona is working to make it easier for members to access their coverage information and other dental resources digitally.

Here are 5 of our most popular digital tools for managing and using your dental benefits:

Dentist Search

Use our online provider search to find a network dentist close to where you live and work. The tool allows you to narrow your search to only show dentists in specific networks and to identify those with extended hours, wheelchair accessibility and language fluency.

Dental Care Cost Estimator

Our easy-to-use tool provides estimated cost ranges on common dental care services from dentists in your area. Try the cost estimator.

Electronic EOB

Your Explanation of Benefits (EOB) is a statement you receive from Delta Dental that explains which dental treatments or services were paid for by your dental plan. It shows charges, payments and any balances owed. It’s important to keep this document for your records, which is easy if you get them delivered to your inbox. Sign in to your member portal to view EOBS and register to receive them electronically.

Mobile App

Our mobile app gives you access to dentist search, claims and coverage, ID cards, the cost estimator and more, right on your mobile device! Plus, you can save your id card to your phone’s wallet from the app for easier, quicker access. Download the app today on Google Play or App Store for iPhone.

Delta Dental Virtual Visits

Emergencies happen at the most inconvenient times, like when you’re traveling and don’t have access to your regular dentist. Access to Delta Dental Virtual Visits delivered by TeleDentistry.com is a covered benefit in most of our dental plans. Use this option when you have a dental emergency and don’t have a dentist, need access after hours and your dentist is not available, or would like to consult with a dentist without leaving home or while traveling.
