What is the Aetna dental PPO network?

Aetna's Dental Preferred Partner Organization Network is a group of dentists that have contracted with the insurance provider to offer set rates to its plan members, states the provider's website. While Aetna also has a dental insurance plan titled PPO, the network refers to the collection of dentists.

Aetna's PPO plan allows members to visit PPO dentists, dentists in Aetna's other networks or any dentist regardless of network. Visiting a dentist in the PPO network may save patients money if the contracted rates are less than those outside the network. In Texas, the PPO network is referred to as the Participating Dental Network.
