Delta Dental of Massachusetts members have access to virtual visits with a dentist 24/7 using their smartphone, tablet or computer.
Virtual visits are available to Delta Dental of Massachusetts members for urgent dental problems through their existing Delta Dental coverage. A virtual visit is an effective way to receive care and avoid the emergency room.
Members can schedule a virtual visit when they:
• Are having a dental emergency or an urgent dental concern.
• Need access to a dentist after hours and their dentist isn’t available.
• Need to consult with a dentist while traveling.
TeleDentistry.com dentists diagnose the problem and provide treatment options. Members will be referred to a Delta Dental dentist for follow-up care.
The TeleDentistry.com dentist will email consultation notes to the member and direct them to follow up with their provider. If a member has not established care with a Delta Dental network dentist, TeleDentistry.com will provide a list of local Delta Dental network dentists for follow-up care.
This service supplements Delta Dental’s current plan coverage and should be used after business hours, holidays and weekends, or when a member’s regular dentist is unavailable.
TeleDentistry.com services are only available to current Delta Dental of Massachusetts members. A TeleDentistry.com consultation counts as a problem-focused exam under the member’s dental plan.
