What is the difference between a Delta Dental PPO dentist and one who is not preferred?

How can we find out what a patient's remaining benefits are for this current benefit year?
Contact ODS Customer Service or email them, and we will review their claims history to determine how much they have remaining.
What does the term "least costly" mean?
If a tooth can be restored with a procedure that is less expensive than the procedure rendered, benefits paid will be based on the procedure that costs less.
