Our mission is to deliver superior care through a partnership with our patients to stop the disease/repair cycle by means of evidence-based methods of prevention and treatment.
Willamette Dental is a managed care plan that provides comprehensive benefits from a select network of participating dentists. There are no employee or dependent premiums for any of the UW dental plans. The dental premiums are 100% paid for by the University of Washington.

For more than 30 years, employers have found that Willamette Dental is a clear choice in affordable quality dental care. Our portfolio of plans offer true dental insurance that covers the cost of dental care above and beyond a co-payment. Plans are structured such that there is no maximum to the amount of dental services that they will cover, with no deductibles that need to be met.

Willamette Dental is pleased to offer implant services under our value-added services program. These services are currently available for our patients in Oregon and Washington. This plan is pleased to offer preferred employee value-added orthodontia services also.

Specialties

Willamette Dental has the capability to provide most required oral health services within our own offices. Most specialty services, when determined to be necessary by the primary doctor of record, can also be provided in Willamette Dental offices

Delta Dental PPOSM

Delta Dental PPO is one of our three contracted national network based programs. Participating dentists agree to fee schedules as payment in full. These PPO schedules provide deeper discounts that result in savings to the group and enrollees. As with all of the Delta Dental networks, dentists agree to processing policies and are prohibited from billing and collecting fees in excess of the agreed upon schedule. This product allows enrollees to visit any dentist but offers additional savings when visiting a PPO network dentist.
