Delta Dental is pleased to administer the UT SELECT dental benefits for UT System employees, retirees, and their dependents.
You have two options for the UT SELECT Dental coverage: the basic plan, and the Plus plan, which includes enhanced benefits.
In either plan, you are free to visit any network dentist, your coverage includes emergency treatment, and you are covered in or out of the
state of Texas.
Delta Dental offers two provider networks for both the basic and plus plans: The Premier network has nearly 290,000 dental offices nationwide, with
almost 32,000 offices in Texas. The DPO network has 185,000 dental offices nationwide, with over 26,000 in Texas.
Both networks offer reduced fees on certain services, and you will not be balance billed.
