General information regarding your health care
The information and content on this website (collectively, the "Content") is for your general educational information only.
The Content:
- cannot, and is not intended to, replace the relationship that you have with your health care professionals.
- is not medical advice. You should always talk to your health care professionals for information concerning diagnosis and treatment, including information regarding which drugs or treatment may be appropriate for you.

The Cost Estimator tool may group, into "treatment categories," services that are often delivered together to address a particular dental problem. The description of different treatment categories, and the inclusion of particular services in a treatment category, is not advice that any particular treatment category is the right treatment for you nor that you should obtain any particular treatment. All of those matters are things that you should decide in consultation with your dental care professionals. The Cost Estimator is intended for use in the 50 states, Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories, and no Content is provided for dental services outside the U.S..

General information regarding cost estimates
- Do not avoid getting dental care based on the cost information provided on this website.
- This website shows estimates of certain dental care costs.
- Except for members of the Delta Dental companies mentioned at the bottom of this page, the figures shown are estimates of the amounts to be charged by the dentist, and not the amounts you can expect to pay after accounting for the payments that may be made by your dental plan.
- The Cost Estimator uses procedure costs or cost ranges, as reflected in dentist fee schedules and aggregated historical cost data.
- The estimates generated by the Cost Estimator may be different from the amount charged by your dentist for several reasons, including but not limited to, your unique dental circumstances and the decisions made by you and your dental professionals as to what services you will receive, deviations between the anticipated scope of services and the services actually provided, and the benefits provided under your particular plan.
More information regarding how cost estimates are calculated
- Cost estimates for services listed as “Cost without insurance” are based upon submitted claims data for out-of-network dentists. The data is based on actual, non-discounted charges that dentists have billed.
- The Cost Estimator calculates cost estimates for services based upon specific geographic areas, as defined by the first three digits of a ZIP code (e.g., the geo ZIP for 12345 is 123).
- For members of Delta Dental of New Jersey, Delta Dental of Connecticut and Delta Dental of Idaho: You will see an estimate of your out of pocket cost, which is based on the amounts charged by the dentist for the procedures in question and the amounts to be paid by your dental plan.
