Delta Dental Ratings and Reviews
Delta Dental has offices in 13 states accredited with an A rating, according to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website. (The BBB also shows 27 Delta Dental practices with an F rating and no BBB accreditation, but some appear to be duplicate entries). Complaints range from unethical complaints practices to poor customer service practices.
Meanwhile, Consumer Affairs gives Delta Dental 3 out of 5 stars based on 70 reviews submitted over the past 12 months. One customer from Arizona said it was “the best of the best”. Other customers claim poor customer service and difficulty finding answers to questions from a real person or website. These ratings depend on the state issuing the policy. Even though there are many negative reviews, some Delta Dental insurance companies get good customer service. Research your state’s Delta Dental insurance company before making your decision.
