Dental Plans

Brown University offers two dental insurance options through Delta Dental of Rhode Island. Both plans utilize the PPO Plus Premier network, giving you access to the largest national network of dentists.

Compare the Plans

Choose the level of coverage that best fits your needs. While both plans cover preventive care (like cleanings and X-rays), the Plus Plan offers higher benefit levels for major work and includes specialty services.

Provides standard dental coverage for preventive care, basic services and major procedures.

Includes everything in the Comprehensive Plan, with enhanced coverage for certain services, including:

  • Dental implants
  • Orthodontia for dependent children

Dependent children may be covered up to age 26.

Cost of Coverage

Monthly premiums are based on your employee group. Visit the rate sheets page to view your specific rates.
