Specialty Services Specialty treatment is a covered benefit under the Uniform Dental Plan. As with all dental treatment, enrollees will receive a higher level of benefits if they obtain treatment from a PPO dentist. Enrollees may want to ask their dentists to refer them to PPO specialists in the event they need specialty care. PPO specialists are listed in the Uniform Dental Plan provider directory, or enrollees may contact the Uniform Dental Plan customer service team at (800) 537-3406.
