Frequently Asked Questions.

What are my benefits?

The Dental Network provides all basic dental services for a minimal copayment. More comprehensive dental procedures such as dental surgery, crowns, bridges and root canal therapy are provided at reduced fees. Orthodontia is also covered for both children and adults at reduced fees. The Benefit Schedule for IND 20, the individual plan, lists the services covered and the amount you will pay.

How does my dental plan work?

When you enroll, you will receive a membership card and a detailed information packet. You will need to select a participating primary care dental provider as part of your enrollment. When you need care, just call your primary care dental provider and make an appointment. Be sure to take your card with you!
