World-class smile transformations and restorative treatments with payment plans designed for your budget.
Understanding Your Delta Dental Premier Coverage
Delta Dental Premier status means we have contracted directly with your insurance company to accept predetermined fees for all covered services. This partnership eliminates balance billing and provides complete cost transparency before treatment begins. When you need periodontal care, you pay only your deductible plus coinsurance according to your specific Boeing benefits package.
Coverage Tiers and What They Mean
Your Delta Dental plan organizes services into three distinct categories. Preventive care, including routine exams, cleanings, and X-rays, receives 100 percent coverage with no deductible, allowing you to maintain oral health twice per year at no cost. Basic restorative procedures like scaling and root planing typically receive 80 percent coverage, making early intervention for gum disease affordable before surgical treatment becomes necessary.
Major procedures receive 50 percent coverage. This category includes surgical treatments, gum grafting, bone grafts, and dental implants. While 50 percent might seem modest for expensive procedures, this coverage saves thousands of dollars on treatments that restore oral health and quality of life.
Maximizing Your Annual Benefits
Your annual maximum typically ranges from $1,500 to $2,500, depending on your specific benefits package. This maximum resets every January 1st, creating strategic opportunities to split extensive treatments across two benefit years. For example, scheduling bone grafting in December using this year’s benefits, then placing implants in January using next year’s coverage, effectively doubles your insurance support for comprehensive care.

Convenient Downtown Seattle Location
Dental Specialties Northwest occupies the Columbia Tower at 701 5th Avenue in downtown Seattle, positioning us at the center of major transit corridors. Boeing employees working at Seattle headquarters reach us within minutes, while those commuting from Everett access our office via I-5 in 30 to 45 minutes. Renton employees connect through I-405 and I-5 in approximately 25 minutes.
Public transit serves our location exceptionally well. The Link light rail stops at University Street Station, connecting directly to our building. Multiple bus routes, including Sound Transit and King County Metro, provide easy access regardless of your commute method. Our flexible scheduling accommodates shift work and varied schedules common in aerospace manufacturing, with early morning and evening appointments available for employees who prefer treatment before or after work hours.
Advanced Periodontal Procedures for Boeing Employees
Boeing employees seek our practice for procedures requiring specialized periodontal training and advanced technology. The treatments we provide address gum disease at all stages and restore missing teeth with permanent solutions.
LANAP Laser Therapy
LANAP laser therapy treats moderate to severe gum disease without scalpels or sutures. The laser selectively removes diseased tissue while leaving healthy tissue intact, promoting natural regeneration of the structures supporting your teeth. This FDA-cleared procedure requires less downtime than traditional periodontal surgery, allowing most patients to return to work the next day. Traditional surgery might require a week of recovery with dietary restrictions and discomfort, while LANAP typically involves minimal post-procedure discomfort and faster healing.
Dental Implants and Full-Arch Restoration
For missing teeth, dental implants provide permanent solutions that preserve jawbone and restore full function. Research shows that dental implants achieve a 95 percent success rate, making them the gold standard for tooth replacement. We offer same-day implant placement when bone density allows, reducing the number of appointments needed.
Single tooth replacement with implants prevents bone loss that occurs after tooth extraction. Your jawbone requires stimulation from tooth roots to maintain density. Implants provide this stimulation, preserving facial structure and preventing the sunken appearance that develops with long-term tooth loss. For extensive tooth loss, full-arch restoration with implant-supported dentures replaces all upper or lower teeth with just four to six implants per arch, eliminating removable dentures while restoring complete function.
Bone Grafting for Implant Success
Bone grafting rebuilds the jawbone lost to periodontal disease or tooth extraction. This procedure creates the foundation necessary for successful implant placement. We use advanced grafting materials that promote faster healing and integration, reducing the time between grafting and implant placement.

Affordable Financing Through Cherry
Even with 50 percent insurance coverage, major periodontal procedures require out-of-pocket investment. We offer multiple payment options to make any treatment accessible while you leverage your Delta Dental benefits. Understanding your financing choices helps you begin necessary treatment without delay.
Cherry financing provides qualified patients with 0 percent interest for 24 months through a simple online application with instant approval decisions. Here are the key advantages:
- No down payment: begin treatment immediately without depleting savings or waiting to accumulate funds.
- Zero interest charges: qualified patients pay no interest when the balance is paid within 24 months, making the total cost identical to paying upfront.
- Predictable monthly payments: a $6,000 LANAP procedure becomes $250 per month for 24 months with no interest, allowing you to budget accurately.
- Instant approval: the application takes minutes to complete with immediate decisions, eliminating delays in starting necessary treatment.
- Online payment calculator: our website shows exact monthly payments for any procedure before your consultation, making financial planning straightforward.
Strategic timing multiplies your benefits. Schedule the initial phase of complex treatments in December using this year’s annual maximum, then complete subsequent phases in January using next year’s coverage. For comprehensive treatment requiring $10,000 in work, insurance might cover $2,500 this year and $2,500 next year. Financing the remaining $5,000 through Cherry at 0 percent interest creates affordable monthly payments while completing all necessary treatment. We also accept flexible spending accounts and health savings account contributions, which effectively discount your treatment cost by your marginal tax rate.
Rebuild the foundation of your smile and prepare you for a healthier, stronger future.
