Seattle University's Dental Plan

The dental plan is administered by Washington Dental Service. The plan covers the same services provided by both WDS Preferred (PPO) Providers and Non-Preferred providers, but at different coinsurance rates.

The following chart shows the coverage provided by the dental plan. There is a one year wait on all "Major care" services for all new enrolees choosing the dental plan.
