Yes! Your health insurance covers just about everything EXCEPT your teeth. Without dental insurance, a trip to the dentist could take a big bite out of your wallet. Much like your car, it wouldn't take much to spend a thousand dollars or more. A crown may cost $953 and a root canal might run you $997. Even a simple cleaning would come in at more than $83. Dentist visits can be expensive, but dental insurance coverage can save you lots of money — especially on routine visits and preventative oral health care.

Preventive care, including regular checkups and cleanings, is the key to maintaining your oral health. With regular visits to the dentist, problems can be diagnosed early and treated without extensive testing or elaborate and expensive procedures — and that keeps the costs of dental care low.

You'll have access to more than 3,700 in-network dentists in Arizona and 154,000 in-network dentists nationwide, plus all the benefits of the Delta Dental PPO plus Premier plan.

There are no waiting periods on the AZ State Retirement System's Delta Dental plans. 

Even if you’re out of the country when you receive dental treatment, you have peace of mind when you have Delta Dental of Arizona coverage. Your ASRS dental plan includes covered dental services when they are performed and completed by a licensed dentist in a dental office. However, it’s important to remember that these dentists are likely out-of-network, so you’ll be responsible for paying the full dentist’s fees at the time of service. You’ll then need to submit a claims form and required documentation to receive reimbursement. Please refer to your specific plan booklet and these out-of-country claims submission instructions for more information on how out-of-country dental claims are handled.
