MetLife Dental is one of the largest dental insurance providers in the country, with a network of more than 400,000 dentist locations through the MetLife PDP Plus network. MetLife is widely offered as a group dental benefit through employers, making it one of the most commonly used dental plans in America.

Whether you carry a MetLife PPO or HMO plan, our directory helps you find in-network providers near you who accept MetLife — so you receive the full benefit of your coverage without unexpected costs.

MetLife's PDP Plus network is one of the broadest in the country, covering major cities and rural areas alike. When you visit a MetLife in-network dentist, the office submits your claim directly to MetLife, applies the contracted rate, and bills you only for your cost-share. If your employer plan includes a rollover benefit, visiting a dentist twice a year for preventive care is especially important — it unlocks additional annual maximum dollars that carry forward to the following benefit year.
