I have had Aetna dental health insurance for over three years now. They offer a great variety of different plans when it comes to dental coverage and price. I will continue to be a loyal Aetna member in the future because of how good their coverage extends and how many offices actually take them as insurance. It is truly the best dental health insurance.

Aetna Dental, even with an upgrade, is little better than having no insurance at all which is what I had to do for a while before I found Delta Dental. No reputable dentist within an hours drive will accept basic AETNA dental. They will tell you to put your money in the bank for when you need service. They will cover next to nothing besides cleaning, minor fillings, and extractions if you can find a dentist to accept it.

If you have Delta Dental as insurance, then you can pay little to nothing for services. The good thing is that co-pay prices tend to decline the longer you have insurance. They also have good customer service if needed.

Still waiting on hold for customer service - 1 hour 18 minutes. Really? Shame!! And unacceptable! I will be changing dental insurance for my company. It sure would be nice to have an estimate of wait time at beginning of call and updates as time passed. If they have NO ONE to answer calls, they should allow a message to be left.
The Final Word
If you're looking for dental insurance for you and your family, Delta Dental offers four different plans with different network and coverage structures. You can also find a fee-for-service and a dental discount plan. In contrast, Aetna only offers one dental insurance plan and a dental discount card membership.
Group dental plans are harder to compare because Delta Dental does not offer as much general information on its offerings as Aetna does. To learn more about Delta Dental plans in your area, you'll need to contact the insurer directly or visit the Delta Dental website for your state.
Aetna offers a nice selection of plan types that includes, DMO-, PPO-, PDN- network structures. Dental Maintenance Organizations (DMO) only covers in-network services. Preferred Provider Organizations (PPO) and Participating Dental Network (PDN) structures cover in- and out-of-network plans.
Delta Dental is the way to go for individual and family plans because of its selection. Aetna offers more clarity online regarding its employer-offerings, which edges it ahead of Delta Dental for those plans.
