MetLife Dental PPO

SDPEBA is happy to continue our relations with MetLife Dental. SDPEBA members living throughout the United States will have access to enroll in MetLife’s Dental PPO. MetLife’s PPO plan offers you freedom and flexibility to select the dentist of your choice. For your convenience, the following is a list of some of the PPO plan features:

• You can select your own dentist (including oral surgeons, periodontists and pediatric dentists), but when you use a MetLife PPO dentist, you may save even more! To find a participating dentist, please visit MetLife’s website.
• Deductibles may be waived for preventive and diagnostic services when visiting an in-network provider.
• Endodontics, periodontics, oral surgery and implants are covered.
• There is no waiting period for any covered services, including major services such as crowns and bridges.
• One of the largest networks in California.
• Orthodontics for adults and children.

Like most group benefit programs, benefit programs offered by MetLife and its affiliates contain certain exclusions, exceptions, reductions, limitations, waiting periods, and terms for keeping them in force. Please contact MetLife or your plan administrator for costs and complete details.
