The Aetna Dental Access Network provides participants access to a network of independent practicing providers.

The availability of any particular provider cannot be guaranteed, and provider network composition is subject to change. Aetna does not provide medical or dental care/treatment and is not responsible for outcomes. All dental care is the responsibility of the treating provider, in consultation with the participant. Selection of a dentist is also the responsibility of the participant and is not based on any representations by Aetna.
