Delta Dental search site

OAK BROOK, Illinois--Delta Dental, a provider of dental benefits, has introduced a faster, simpler way for members to find dental providers nationwide.

Patients can access a mobile version of the national Delta Dental website’s Dentist Search feature to quickly locate a nearby in-network dentist--a function that is important in the event of a dental emergency.

“We are always trying to find ways to improve our patients’ online experience,” said Kim Volk, president and CEO of Delta Dental Plans Association. “This mobile site will be a convenient aid for individuals seeking quality local dental care.”

Mobile device users can navigate to www.deltadental.com/dentistsearch to access the mobile-enabled dentist search tool. The site will recognize whether the user is on a mobile device and display the appropriate version for that user.

Once there, patients enter their location and select their dental plan, and a list of nearby in-network dentists is generated. They can also access the dentist search function by using the link on the home page at www.deltadental.com.
